writting to ubi nand partitions need after write ends an erase of the remaining sectors. This fail, if dfu write size was not a multiple of erasesize, example log:

Fix this error.

Why don't you just erase the whole partition up front?
Good question ... I think the reason is that if we erase a big partition at once on dfu start, dfu-util rans into timeout ... but may I am wrong ...
IIRC at the end of a DFU transfer DFU protocol sends a "flush" to the device ... where we currently erase the remaining sectors ... we need this on an ubi partition, else there may remain old used UBI sectors ... (BTW: we need an "ubi format" command ...)
@Lukasz? Am I correct? Or could we simple erase before writting?
