Understanding mtd bad blocks (1 reply)

...and not bricking your device.

(Because I've done that already).

Got a new NSA325v2 and I see some bad blocks. I'd like to load the Arch kirkwood UBoot, or the bodhi UBoot, but I want to confirm my understanding here first. And that is:

That uboot flashed mtd0 only and that bad blocks else where should not brick the device.

From dmesg I see that I have two bad blocks, but from the addresses that they are in mtd5 and mtd6.
