Looking about infradead.org tells that the OOB area can be reconfigured via ioctl.  I suppose that this is something which would be needed prior to mount.  Having more up to date definitions would seem better....as raw nand doesn't seem to be well supported except with jffs2 & possibly yaffs I don't suppose the NAND_NOOB is such a concern.

Subject: Nand OOB layout, u-boot and the kernel sources do not agree..??

Hello,
 
While trying to resolve what the OOB data layout should be I see that the kernel headers as of 8-10-2002 have changed such that both the NAND_JFFS2 and NAND_NOOB use position 5 for bad block data.  The u-boot headers do not reflect this change...doesn't this mean u-boot will be incompatible with more recent kernels?  Should u-boot's headers be updated here?
 
Regards,
