Source: partman-base
Version: 180
Severity: normal

I have an ARM board (Nvidia Jetson TK-1) which includes an on board eMMC. When
installing the list of devices to select for installation partitioning included
mmcblk1{boot0,boot1,rpmb}. (RPMB == Replay Protected Memory Block).

These are not normal partitions and should not be included. They are small (4M)
and have special hardware properties which makes them unsuitable for use. [0]
has a reasonable description of what they are, suffice it to say that they are
magic and shouldn't be messed with without care. They may not even be writable
via normal means. [1] has some more background.

lsblk says the following. sda is a SATA drive, mmcblk0 is a normal removable SD
card (where my install actually lives) and mmcblk1 is the one with the magic
partitions, which is soldered onto the board.

# lsblk

I'm a bit confused why boot0/1 show up since parted already filters read only
devices (in parted_devices.c:process_device).

I'm not sure how to identify these magic devices other than by name.

Ian.
