e.g which partition is the dalvik cache? mmcblk0p*?

i know mmcblk0p18 is emmc, and mmcblk0p12 is system or cache i think. I ask this because a while ago, a battery outage during a flash has corrupted a few partitions such that when i do a certain amount of activity on the phone, it locks up, all apps FC and no amount of reboots fix it. I removed and formatted partitions in the above locations and now i can freely restore my backups (they used to fail on flashing system probably due to corrupted partition there). I still get FC here and there, only when i haven't used the phone in a while (enters deep sleep) and whatsapp/messaging also FC so it's a serious problem which affects my daily life.

The only important place i haven't removed and wiped is the dalvik cache, so i specifically need the location to that.

Thanks!

There is no partition specifically designated for dalvik cache. Depending on your ROM/setup, dalvik cache can be in many places. Typically system apps (those in /system/app) have their dalvik cached at /cache/dalvik-cache, and user apps (those in /data/app and /data/app-private) have it in /data/dalvik-cache. If you have apps2sd, there could be another one at /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. There could be even more, depending on your ROM/setup.

I have the complete Atrix partition map saved on my computer but have no access to it right now since I'm on my phone.
