Hmm, I didn't realize the necessary information was in the sysfs 
hierarchy, I will take a look at that. If it's not too difficult, it 
might be cleaner to just go ahead and add it to busybox so it matches 
the normal utility and so people like me that don't think about using 
shell scripts and sysfs nodes don't lose out ;). I'll post a patch for 
consideration once I have time to work on it.

Any thoughts on adding ubiformat?

Thanks…
