Root Partition Question

[ASJ80]

Why does fdisk show only one partition and say that its physical and logical partitions are different?

INTERACTIVE
root@x5:/ # fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7818 MB, 7818182656 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16128 * 512 = 8257536 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1 266306 2147483647+ ee EFI GPT
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 0, 1) logical=(0, 0, 2)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1023, 255, 63) logical=(266305, 4, 4)
root@x5:/ # exit

it's not MBR partitioned, it's GPT partitioned. There are 30 partitions if I remember correctly.

The ones you care about (system, data, cache) are next to each other and if you play it right you could probably resize them.

Oops, I was wrong, there's 35 partitions. I found the list in my old chat logs.
