hjl Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm running armbian on a X96 and was able to install it to the eMMC. So far no problems. The machine has 8 GB of eMMC, and that's why I want to use every free space if possible. But the partition table looks quite strange. Here is the output of cfdisk: Quote Disk: /dev/mmcblk0 Size: 7,3 GiB, 7818182656 bytes, 15269888 sectors Label: dos, identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type >> /dev/mmcblk0p1 0 8191 8192 4M 83 Linux Free space 8192 73727 65536 32M /dev/mmcblk0p2 73728 204799 131072 64M 83 Linux Free space 204800 221183 16384 8M /dev/mmcblk0p3 221184 1269759 1048576 512M 83 Linux /dev/mmcblk0p4 1269760 11567103 10297344 4,9G 5 Extended ├─Free space 1271808 1286144 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p5 1286144 1302527 16384 8M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1304576 1318912 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p6 1318912 1384447 65536 32M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1386496 1400832 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p7 1400832 1466367 65536 32M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1468416 1482752 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p8 1482752 1499135 16384 8M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1501184 1515520 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p9 1515520 1531903 16384 8M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1533952 1548288 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p10 1548288 1613823 65536 32M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1615872 1630208 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p11 1630208 1695743 65536 32M 83 Linux ├─Free space 1697792 1712128 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p12 1712128 2760703 1048576 512M 83 Linux ├─Free space 2762752 2777088 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p13 2777088 2842623 65536 32M 83 Linux ├─Free space 2844672 2859008 14337 7M ├─/dev/mmcblk0p14 2859008 4956159 2097152 1G 83 Linux ├─Free space 4958208 4972544 14337 7M └─/dev/mmcblk0p15 4972544 15269887 10297344 4,9G 83 Linux Free space 11567104 15269887 3702784 1,8G The extended partition p4 ends at block 11567103, but p15, which is part of p4, ends at15269887. I was not able to fix this with parted's resizepart command. The resulting new partition table was not written to the eMMC. Any ideas how to fix this? p15 contains armbian, which runs fine in this configuration. Nevertheless I would like to delete unused partitions and enlarge p15. p14 could be a candidate for this, and some other probably, too. But I don't know, which of these are needed for further operation (boot loader etc.)? Maybe some kind soul has some hints for me. Btw: in case I delete these "unneeded" partitions, will I be able to restore the android system later from a stock ROM? Kind regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balbes150 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 To modify partitions, you must modify the dtb file. And change the installation script so that it takes into account the partition name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
