I was wondering if i can create a flashable rootf image, one that in the case that the device is dead, i can flash from windows and boot into backupmenu with other stuff i currently have on my rootf.

i found this link that explains how to do this and followed it:
http://mer-project.blogspot.com/2010...-for-n900.html

but i get an error executing:

"mkfs.ubifs -m 2048 -e 129024 -c 2047 -R 4MiB -r rootfs -v /hom/user/smart/base.ubi.img"

"Error: bad root directory 'rootfs/'"

Was anyone able to do this?

Just wondering if this is off any use to you ....
