Partition Table - xalius - 07-23-2016
Hi I was looking into a way to automate resizing the /data and /system partitions on sdcards written from the images provided. But every image I look at, the partition table is in weird layout with overlapping partitions:
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 59.6 GiB, 64021856256 bytes, 125042688 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 5251072 62943230 57692159 27.5G b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb2 * 73728 139263 65536 32M 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb3 1 5251072 5251072 2.5G 85 Linux extended
/dev/sdb5 139264 172031 32768 16M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb6 172032 204799 32768 16M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb7 204800 3350527 3145728 1.5G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb8 3350528 3383295 32768 16M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb9 3383296 3448831 65536 32M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb10 3448832 5021695 1572864 768M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb11 5021696 5054463 32768 16M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb12 5054464 5087231 32768 16M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb13 5087232 5251071 163840 80M 83 LinuxThis is a 32GB image (http://files.pine64.org/os/android/android-ver5.1.1-20160711-pine64-32GB.zip) written to a 64GB sdcard.
As you can see, there is a extended partition (sdb3 here) starting right at the beginning of the medium, it contains most of the remaining partitions (logical), but there is a large primary partition tacked on to the end of that (sdb1 here) and the second primary partition (sdb2 here) is actually sitting INSIDE the extended partition... this breaks any tool people might want to use to try to resize /data and /system...

On the plus side, while the layout breaks using any normal partitioning tool, the large primary tacked on at the end is the /data partition and so should be easy to resize to the full disk/card...
