Here is a list of internal partitions in Android:
  
 +
/boot
 +
/cache
 +
/data
 +
/misc
 +
/recovery
 +
/system

And here are the external partitions:
  
    Note: I have obtained the below information with great effort and difficulty. I value this information very much and thus am sharing this for other like minded developers to find.

/sdcard + (sdcard2 is some cases)
 +
/sd-ext
  
Introduction
+
So, there are total of 8 partitions, 6 of which are internal while 2 are external. Of all these 8, only 1 partition. sdcard, is found on all devices while others may be found on selected devices only. All of these are explained below:
 +
 
 +
 
 +
[[Image:Partisi-android.jpg|center|200px|thumb]]
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Boot Partition (/boot)As its name suggests, boot partitions contains the files that facilitates the boot process of Android device. The ramdisk and the kernel are also found on this partition.
 +
If you wipe boot partition, you will still be able to boot your device in Recovery mode. It’s recommended to not to do it unless you have a ROM with boot partition in it.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Cache Partition (/cache)Android Cache partition stores logs and frequently accessed app data. Downloads from Google Play Store are also stored in this partition.
 +
Clearing / wiping this partition does not affect your Android device in any way. It just frees up some space.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Data Partition (/data)This is where user data is stored. This includes everything from user settings & customizations, apps that you have downloaded and installed, your messages (SMS / MMS) as well as contacts.
 +
Wiping data partition will restore your phone to factory settings, removing all apps, messages and user settings from the device.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Misc Partition (/misc)This partition contains miscellaneous hardware settings for your device. These files are mandatory for your device to function properly.
 +
If you wipe misc partition, your Android device will not function properly and may note boot at all.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Recovery Partition (/recovery)This partition lets you boot in recovery mode. While in recovery mode, you can perform plenty of functions like wiping your data / userdata partition to restore your device to factory settings and clearing cache partition.
 +
 
 +
System Partition (/system)As the name indicates, all the files pertaining to OS are stored in this partition. This also includes all the system apps that are part of Android.
 +
Clearing / Wiping System partition will remove Android from your device. However, you may still be able to boot into recovery or download mode and flash a new ROM.
 +
 
 +
SDCard Partition (/sdcard)The /sdcard partition on Android refers to the space that is available to users to store their files and data. Depending on your device, there may be several sdcard partitions. On devices with external SD card slot, the /sdcard partition represents the internal storage device. For external SD card, you can find a different partition /sdcard2 or a directory within sdcard partition like /sdcard/sd.
 +
You can safely wipe sdcard2 partition as there’s no system data stored on this partition. The sdcard partition may contain user data and app settings / data stored by different apps. Wiping /sdcard partition will just wipe some app settings and user data and in no way interrupts system’s boot process or functionality.
 +
 
 +
SD-Ext Partition (/sd-ext)This is an additional partition of the sdcard partition which is used mostly by custom ROMs and mods. This works as /data partition of the /sdcard, storing user data and settings that is typically stored on /data partition. This partition is helpful for devices with limited internal memory as the user data and settings are stored on SD card and not on internal storage.
 +
Wiping sd-ext partition, if you have data stored on it, is same as wiping /data partition. You will lose settings, contacts, messages and any other data stored on that partition.
 +

==Introduction==
  
 
All Android devices use separate partitions for storing different parts of the entire system. The boot partition consists of the linux kernel, recovery partition contains the recovery binary, system partition contains the device's ROM, data partition contains all user data and cache partition contains some cache data including dalvik-cache. Partition layout files are used to determine where each specific partition, used for Android's internal tools and provide the data to tools like Online Nandroid. The linux kernel reveals this layout in different places at times, but not always. In some instances, if this layout is not revealed, Online Nandroid uses it's own manually created partition layout file at /system/partitionlayout4nandroid.

On devices based on MTK (MediaTek) chipsets, a file at /proc/dumchar_info is populated with the partition layout, by the linux kernel. This file, however is not similar to /proc/mtd, /proc/emmc and partition layout files used by Online Nandroid. Since MTK devices use the uboot mechanism, partitions including boot and recovery, are not revealed as separate partitions, but rather accessed sequencially by size and start parameters. The dumchar_info file has this size and start parameters specified in it. This file has some other major differences in partition naming such as the boot partition is named bootimg instead of boot, data partition is named usrdata instead of userdata, system partition is named android instead of system and internal sd card is named fat instead emmc. Online Nandroid (since v8.0) has built-in support for MTK based devices, thus does not require separate partition layout files on MTK based devices.

Android Partitions Explained: boot, system, recovery, data, cache & misc Here is a list of internal partitions in Android:

/boot
/cache
/data
/misc
/recovery
/system

And here are the external partitions:

/sdcard + (sdcard2 is some cases)
/sd-ext

So, there are total of 8 partitions, 6 of which are internal while 2 are external. Of all these 8, only 1 partition. sdcard, is found on all devices while others may be found on selected devices only. All of these are explained below:

Introduction

All Android devices use separate partitions for storing different parts of the entire system. The boot partition consists of the linux kernel, recovery partition contains the recovery binary, system partition contains the device's ROM, data partition contains all user data and cache partition contains some cache data including dalvik-cache. Partition layout files are used to determine where each specific partition, used for Android's internal tools and provide the data to tools like Online Nandroid. The linux kernel reveals this layout in different places at times, but not always. In some instances, if this layout is not revealed, Online Nandroid uses it's own manually created partition layout file at /system/partitionlayout4nandroid.

MTD Based Devices

MTD (Memory Technology Device) based devices have /proc/mtd populated with the partition layout, by the linux kernel. Thus, no specific partition layout file is required by Online Nandroid, on MTD based devices.

Example (/proc/mtd on a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro):

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 19000000 00020000 "system"
mtd1: 00600000 00020000 "appslog"
mtd2: 06580000 00020000 "cache"
mtd3: 1a400000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd4: 00c80000 00020000 "boot"

Note: Some buggy kernels may not populate /proc/mtd properly. In most such cases, the underlying MTD partitions would also not be revealed by the kernel, thus proving a workaround partition layout virtually useless.


EMMC Based Devices

Few EMMC (Embedded MultiMedia Card) based devices have /proc/emmc populated with the partition layout, by the linux kernel. In this case, no specific patch file is required by Online Nandroid. However, this practice is not followed in later devices. Thus, these require patch files. A partition layout file is very similar to /proc/mtd or /proc/emmc generated by linux kernel. It follows the same format and the same header.

Gathering information to produce a partition layout file is trivial. It is sometimes revealed somewhere under the /sys/devices by linux kernel. But this is not always the case. ROM and kernel developers, would, most of the time, figure this out and share this information in development threads on forums like XDA. Other times, it is easiest to obtain a copy of recovery.fstab used by stock, CWM, TWRP and other recoveries. This file is present in the recovery ramdisk and thus can be obtained from someone who has physical access to the device. Alternatively, this file is available at device repositories on Github and other places. A simple search on Google for android_device_oem_device, where oem is the name of device manufacturer such as samsung, sony, motorola, lge..., and device is the code name / technical name of the device such as mako for Google Nexus 4 and m0 for Samsung Galaxy S III. In addition a PIT file or a scatter file for the specific device can also be used for deducing the partition layout.

Example (Partition Layout file on an HTC Sensation XL):

dev:       size      erasesize  name
mmcblk0p1: 0001f4 000000 "unknown"
mmcblk0p2: 000040 000000 "unknown"

MTK Based Devices

On devices based on MTK (MediaTek) chipsets, a file at /proc/dumchar_info is populated with the partition layout, by the linux kernel. This file, however is not similar to /proc/mtd, /proc/emmc and partition layout files used by Online Nandroid. Since MTK devices use the uboot mechanism, partitions including boot and recovery, are not revealed as separate partitions, but rather accessed sequencially by size and start parameters. The dumchar_info file has this size and start parameters specified in it. This file has some other major differences in partition naming such as the boot partition is named bootimg instead of boot, data partition is named usrdata instead of userdata, system partition is named android instead of system and internal sd card is named fat instead emmc. Online Nandroid (since v8.0) has built-in support for MTK based devices, thus does not require separate partition layout files on MTK based devices.
