[Q] Partition Table & Mount Point List

---

Hi all

I am using a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 2.3.6 N7000XXKK5 (Hungerian) 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-...

I was wondring if there is a way to view the device list in the partition table and there mount points.

I understand in older versions of android "cat /proc/mtd" would produce a table like this:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 000a0000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00480000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00300000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 0fa00000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 02800000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 093a0000 00020000 "userdata"

I see now the mount points have moved to "/dev/block" but I can not get there names.
I have seen many assesments of some of the "mmcblk0p0-13" names, but nothing looked like an orgenized list of the "Partition Information Table".
Can anyone tell me how I can printout a table like above on SGN.

I would like to use the "dd" command to create images of all the partitions before I start messing with my phone.

If anyone could help me with these commands I would mostly appreciate it.

"dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p? of=/sdcard/???.img bs=4096"
(for all mmcblk0p? and there names ???.img)
and if possible to printout the partition table using "cat /dev/block/???" or anything else.

I fund ths on the "[INFO][DEV]SGS2 Epic 4G Touch Partition Structure"

yes it would be nice to know that. Then if it possible to use dd commands, then we will can flash custom kernels much easier and maybe make linux running nativeky if we get kernek source. Sorry for bad english.

Well, you can get the basic partitions from /proc/mounts :

  -> adb shell cat /proc/mounts | grep /dev/block
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,noauto_da_alloc 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,noauto_da_alloc 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /preload ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/.lfs j4fs rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/vold/259:3 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
..............

cat /proc/mounts and partitions doesn't show where is recovery.img. and no cat/proc/mtd in /proc. So how to know where is recovery.img?

using adb

adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

using terminal emulator on the phone

su
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

and then command: print

N7000 ................

dev: size erasesize name
mmcblk0p1: 001500000 000000 "efs"
mmcblk0p2: 000147c00 000000 "sbl1"

mmcblk0p4: 000831400 000000 "param"
mmcblk0p5: 000831400 000000 "boot"
mmcblk0p6: 000831400 000000 "recovery"

mmcblk0p8: 0010ccccd 000000 "modem"
mmcblk0p9: 037d00000 000000 "system"

mmcblk0p11: 2f999999a 000000 "emmc"
mmcblk0p12: 021900000 000000 "hidden"
