UBI will scrub all LEBs with bit-flips once they are read.
But if you have bit-flips in an LEB and it is never read, it will never
be scrubbed. And erasures of the neighboring PEBs may turn bit-flips
into hard errors.

To force scrubbing, the easies way is to just read all volumes, like

dd if=/dev/ubi0_i of=/dev/null bs=4096

for each i.
