Nand partitions identification

[Fonefixer]

Not sure if this info has been posted elsewhere, but I know its previously been asked for.

According to a lil program I have some of the "nands" are identified as follows:

nandc

Path: /system
Access: Read only
Capacity: 189.1M
Available: 57.4M
Block size: 1024 bytes
File system: ext4
Device: /dev/block/nandc
Attributes: ro,realtime,barrier=0, data=ordered

nandd

Path: /data
Access: Not accessible
Capacity: 1213.2M
Available: 1051.8M
Block size 4096 bytes
File system: ext4
Device: /dev/block/nandd
Attributes: rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=0,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc

nandg

Path: /cache
Access: not accessible
Capacity: 126M
Available: 121.9M
Block size: 4096 bytes
File system: ext4
Device: dev/block/nandg
Attributes: rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=0,data=ordered

Please bear in mind that YMMV as these values are from my Excel.

Hope this helps someone

Nice one Dave,

I had posted the names of those 3 nand blocks on the CWM5 topic, but you have a lot more detail, I only had the names.

I have just dumped all blocks a-h onto my pc -

nandh - is the largest one I have at 2.11GB - I wonder if that is the internal memory (SDCARD) mnt/sdcard

Both nandf and nandb are 32MB and Mitre says that nandf is recovery - maybe nandb is boot?

[Fonefixer]

I wonder if that is why the program i use cant see them even though its rooted....

[Mitre]

we really need to identify these partitions i need the system .img for BT and sound
so far we got
16,384 kb Nanda = bootloader (rootfs??)
32768 kb Nandb = boot.img (same size as recovery so looks as if it would be boot)
204800 kb Nandc = /system
1286144 kb Nandd = /data
1024 kb Nande = Empty (maybe misc partition?)
32768 kb Nandf = recovery.img
131072 kb Nandg = /cache
338160 kb Nandh = Internal nand (ie mnt/sdcard)


any ideas people

[Fonefixer]

Nandg is the cache. Which is reported as present with no sdcard inserted.

Nandc is the system partition and nandd is data.

[Mitre]

thanks FF nearly there so just Misc and bootloader missing the other nande is probably empty

[Charlie]

16,384 kb Nanda = bootloader (rootfs?? - kernel?? - u-boot??)
32768 kb Nandb = boot.img (same size as recovery so looks as if it would be boot)
204800 kb Nandc = /system
1286144 kb Nandd = /data
1024 kb Nande = Empty (maybe misc partition?)
32768 kb Nandf = recovery.img
131072 kb Nandg = /cache
338160 kb Nandh = Internal nand (ie mnt/sdcard)



Just edited what you posted, to what I think they might be. (I COULD be WRONG!)

HTH

[Mitre]

i will go with that nice one

[Charlie]

i will go with that nice one

ok, - updated my last post,

not sure what this one really is :- 16,384 kb Nanda = bootloader (rootfs?? - kernel?? - u-boot??)

[Charlie]

Just been looking at some other files and I think nanda and nandb are actually like this: (not 100% sure tho')

nanda = bootfs
nandb = rootfs
