I think my question was not very well expressed. I ment to ask about the mapping of the partitions inside the NAND: Does each partitions need some spare blocks (padding block) becuase of the bad block skipping in the Nand ? As I said, I did not find any information about the strategy of mapping partitions in the Nand.
As you are talking about partitions, I assume you refert to the MTD partitioning. In this case the bad block handling needs to be done in by the file system code, when you create a file system insinde one of the partitions.
[Note that this differs from UBI, where bad block handling is done for the whole device, independent of the volumes that you create on top of it.]
