I am still trying to figure out if a real issue exists or will soon
exist. If this issue is real, I think it should be addressed in UEFI
but if not there then in EBBR. We move "disks" around a lot more than
other people do.
Yes, let's double check with Hannes :).
On Dragonboard 820c, that has on board UFS disk:
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 6335488 sectors, 24.2 GiB
Model: THGBF7G8K4LBATRB
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096/4096 bytes
Hmmm. That's interesting. I had assumed that on UFS devices, device
partitions would be used and the GPT would be omitted. Evidently that is
not done on the 810c.
Is that just because sticking with GPT is the 'known-working-solution'?
Will there eventually be a time when OSes use UFS-native partitioning?
Or should the recommendation be to keep doing GPT partitioning on the
whole device?
I'm assuming that UFS-native partitioning allows for better management
of the underlying flash media, but I'm no expert.
How do UFS partitions show up in Linux right now?
Do we have good partitioning tools for UFS?
Will UFS partitioning cause issues for the distros?
