As far as I know, there is:
/boot
/bootloader
/userdata
/system
/cache
/recovery
/radio
Is there a way for me to create a new partition on the NAND to which I can write to and from?

There are actually more partitions that you thought.

Hey,
My phone display 16Gb instead of 32Gb !
I had restored my phone multiple times lately because of some things I shouldn't do..
I've a LG G2 D802, get back to stock rom (KOR) rooted but no recovery as I have "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" issue.
So if anyone know how to go back to normal or just install a recovery in order to go under a non stock rom, i'd be glad to follow his advice.
By the way when I go to hardware information on Android I see 32Gb but anywhere else even on PC i see 16Gb (10 actually).
You may want to have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 sounds like you have to install a kdz from a country that uses 32gb G2. I had a similar issue when restoring a stock rom on my G pro once, some kdz files are for 16gb variants.

I do not think it will help you might have a partition problem like many of us have had. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50790181&postcount=49

Hello everyone,
Instead of hijacking the topic of gkalen i'am going to expose my problem here, is my phone dead ?!
5 days after installing the miui v7 global rom my phone rebooted and got stuck at Mi logo.
Since then i dont have acces to xiaomi recover only to fastboot mode.
I cant use miflash because i kept getting the following error: [00000AFC]86d6ac8f 0.27 FAILED (remote: failed to write partition)
Mi PC suite isnt working either.
Today i managed to access TWRP recovery and as well adb shell, but installaing via recovery is not working as well and I get the following message:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Same error using adb shell.
So I think the problem is linked to the partitions, let me show you thoses logs:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 /data ext4 rw

/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /persist ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw
/usb-otg vfat rw
Parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p24
print

print

I'am getting desesperate, anyone knows how to fix partitions issue ?
Actually i could need some help, if someone would be kind enough to run the following command with adb shell:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
And give me the output, here is mine and I guess i'am missing a few bits...:

Hi,
were you abel to solve your problem or have you received any reply to it? I also think that my internal SD card is corrupted and to install a new ROM I have to set it up again. I always get the following error messagre if I want to flash it with Mi-flash
"remote: failed to write partition" .
If I check it with fastboot in detail, I miss the partition with the name "partition". This is the first one which is flashed, but I do not have.
My phone is 2014813.
I hope somebody may help me.
Hello,
did any of you ever get this fixed ? Would be nice to hear the solution because I am faced with the same problem unfortunatly....

It is no error, it is normal.
Internal storage for user is only 9 GB.
There is no way to change this, except if you use Marshmallow and use the adopted storage option to make the microSD card part of the internal memory.

Thanks for the insight but check this for me. Doesn't it mean the firmware was rather installed on the 9gb?

No. 9GB are for user files.
2GB are for cache and 2GB are for system. That's about 13GB in total. I don't know what the missing 3GB are for.
Check this post. It gives a breakdown of every mount point on the S4, including partition size. The OP isn't missing any storage, though he thinks he is.

No, you're not.
/system is 2894MB (2.894GB).
/cache is 2171MB (2.171GB).

That is 15GB of space right there. The remaining GB of space is taken up by a hidden partition of 524MB, with the remaining 476MB or so given over to the rest of the partitions in the chart below, taken from the thread I linked to earlier.

You're not missing any space, and never were. On a 16GB device, you lose 6GB right off the top for the system storage. It's going to be roughly the same on any device out there. For example, my Nexus 6 is a 64GB model. I only have 54.64GB available to store files on, as I lost 10.5GB off the top for the system partitions.

Haha okay. But you see, i tried flashing a custom rom and in recovery after i did a full system wipe i still had 9gb meaning the the new custom rom was installed on the the 9gb. Per all that you sent i understand that after installing either new firmware or custom rom i shoulf be left with with 9gb+/- right?

Let's parse your post here.
"...i tried flashing a custom rom and in recovery after i did a full system wipe i still had 9gb...." Your /userdata partition will always be 9.9GB. A small portion of that will be taken by some of the apps Samsung includes on the device in the /system partition. So let's say you're at about 9.7GB, which is about average.
"...meaning the new custom rom was installed on the 9GB." Virtually impossible. In order for a ROM to correctly install it must be installed into the /system partition, or else it will not run.[1] That is one of the first things you learn in developing a ROM, and can be easily verified just by opening up the zip file and looking at the installer script located somewhere in the META-INF directory.
"Per all that you sent i understand that after installing either new firmware or custom rom i shoulf be left with with 9gb+/- right?" Yep. It seems to me that the confusion stems from a misconception. A custom ROM when installed does not delete any files in the internal storage except for those attached to a /system app.
For example, last weekend I installed Pure Nexus onto my Nexus 6. This was a clean install. Yet after I was done, not only were all my music and video files present, but also my books and my app backups. The Nexus 6 does not have a MicroSD slot, so everything is on internal storage. If Pure Nexus, or any ROM for that matter deleted those files, end users would be up in arms over that and the developers would be drawn and quartered.
The point here is that anything you added onto the /userdata partition prior to changing ROMs will still be present after the new ROM has booted up. Therefore, your stuff should still be there. If it's not there, then something else is taking up the space. That something else however is not a ROM.[2]
[1][2]The only exception to the above is if the device has been modified to support multiple ROMs using Safestrap recovery if owning an AT&T or Verizon S4, or MultiROM for anything else. The second and subsequent ROMs could then be installed on the internal storage.
Hi,
So since my the Gionee Elife E7 has 32GB of space but only 4 GB is for apps it's quite annoying to delete something all the time.
Has anyone had any luck partitioning ? Took a look at the partition table
Code:

22 30.9GB 31.3GB 322MB grow
The partition 13 "userdata" seems to be the partition for apps and the partition 20 "udisk" is the storage for files only.
Do I need to delete all the partitions from 13 to 20 in order to extend userdata from 4295MB to 8192MB and then proceed to add 14-20 again?
Also if I performed a full backup in twrp and moved it to my PC, is it still risky to do this? Since the recovery partition is between the 13 and 20 as well
