On my G1, I know that the internal flash memory is divided into several partitions used by the system. Running the busybox shell on a terminal emulator on the phone or through adb, I can run df and get the following:
Code:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 48852 0 48852 0% /dev

/dev/block/vold/179:1
15541688 12742232 2799456 82% /mnt/secure/asec
But strangely there's no mount point for /, the root file system. Yet there are lot of other files and directories directly in the root file system, like init scripts. Could anyone explain to me how this is? Is the root file system hidden somehow from df?
Hello,
I received my second Mi4C 16GB yesterday. It came with some unofficial "global stable" MIUI rom preinstalled (ordered from geekbuying).
I noticed the total capacity of the storage is different from the original Mi4C I bought a while ago (11.19GB vs. 11.31GB on the previous phone). I also noticed some other users and youtubers own phones with wrongly indexed total capacity of the storage as well. I briefly checked the partitions of the phone and it turned out the partition table is different from the stock one (aka the one with the capacity of 11.31GB). I suspect the reseller modified the partition table to be able to flash their own modified unofficial rom.
I've tried a few solutions, but nothing has worked for me so far (nothing reverted the userdata partition to its stock state as indexed by CPU-Z/Antutu).
1.) MiFlash with flash_all.bat script (tried a few fastboot roms) - doesn't work
2.) MiFlash with modified flash_all.bat script (with this line - fastboot %* flash partition "%~dp0images\gpt_both0.bin) - doesn't work
3.) MiPCSuite and flashing the latest chinese stable rom via it - doesn't work
4.) Some partition fix adb script I found on Hungarian message board - doesn't work
5.) flashing multilang rom via TWRP - obviously doesn't work
This is the original topic from xiaomi.eu:

Left one - modified partition table, right one - proper partition table"hxxps://farm6.staticflickr.com/5612/30369274744_d51a097fde_b.jpg
Do you the proper way to return the partition table of the phone to its genuine state, please?
Out of interest, I would be interested to see both your phones running df (open a terminal, run 'su', and then when you have a root shell type 'df -h') so that I can see where your partitions are bloated.
I also have the issue, except to a greater degree : I have under 8gb in the data partition!

Hi, check this comparison:
hxxps://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5826/31305621321_0608b75a19_k.jpg
There is the exact same multilang MIUI 7 rom installed on both the phones.
I've seen some people on Chinese and Russian forums mentioning the same problem + a few other people responded on the local/eu miui forums.

Mine only has 9.4GB.
A shipped, bootloader-flashed official Firmware repartitions as necessary. All you have to do is flash an official rom (not the xiaomi.eu recovery-flashable roms but ACTUAL official roms flashed via fastboot). Im sure some of those would have a different partition table as per suited for ROM needs. Nothing to be alarmed of.

Doesn't work. I've tried flashing several different official Chinese fastboot roms via MiFlash - both the dev and stable ones - but the capacity of the storage remains the same.
A partial solution?

by opening twrp, going into format partitions, the advanced wipe this will destroy all data - nandroid it menu, then selecting the system partition and selecting format, then resize. I did the same thing for data and the partition gained ~3gbs! I'm not sure how reproducible this is, but it seems to work properly and stays cross-ROM
I know I didn't get the full 11.3G,but it worked somewhat...
Hope this helps you on your quest to downloading large files to your device!

Tested this, no need to wipe anything. Just resize it and you're good to go.
No data loss too.
I got 11.3GB after resizing. Thanks!

Can you describe the whole process step by step, please? What is the exact value as indexed by CPU-Z or the similar app? Is it 11.31 GB?
Jatsa - Boot into TWRP (I assume you have it)
Select the 'wipe' menu
Click advanced wipe
Tick the box that says system
Click resize partiton
One it is done, tick the box that says data
Click resize partition
Once done, press the back button until you reach the main menu
Click reboot
Choose system
Enjoy

From TWRP Wipe->Advanced Wipe-> check Data ->Repair or change Filesystem->Resize.
Done.
Glad to help.
Well, it doesn't work. The size of the partition remains still unchanged (11.19 instead of "proper" 11.31).
Maybe there are 2 variants.
100MB don't matter that much.
Exact size: 11856888.
i've got pretty much a rather 'new' (i.e. started with only the base rom pretty much) sam s7 930fd, after i upgraded it to oreo gets it rooted, install titanium backup, i started removing some bloaware apps (e.g. facebook et.al.)
However, after i've removed the bloatware, i'm rather surprised that under settings > device management it shows 10.5 GB used out of 32 GB available. i.e. one third of the storage is 'gone' while i hardly had any other apps installed other than the base rom and upgrade to oreo
hence i go about doing an adb shell from the pc and start checking

as it turns out, only 25 GB is allocated to /data, the rest seemed to be distributed elseswhere e.g. root partition mount point
/mnt/media_rw/5C52-6601 is an external sd card, so is /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 i think which i use for link-to-sd.
and out of that 25 GB allocated to data about 3GB is used (pretty reasonable, i think gapps lives here, i kept most of the gapps dispite the bloat)
however, 32 GB - 25 GB is 7GB and this 'missing' 7GB didn't really seem to be found anywhere. i.e. after adding up the storage ex of data it didn't seem to add up to this 7GB i.e. the root partition etc only consume a portion of this 7GB
i'm finally tempted to purchase a bigger (newer) device given this situation. link-to-sd still works with oreo just that the 2nd slot is used for either micro sd card or a sim card, you can't have both. This may be a big limitation given the storage capacity limits and possibly the need to use the 2nd sim slot.
is it the same for your device or any comments about the storage etc?
thanks in advance

Messing with partition size is risky business. I'm not sure how to do it with a dual slot device and it may not even work. I have only done it once on an old device. Look for Gparted and do a lot of research. I'm not a developer but pretty sure you can't do it within aosp.
Recently I installed DotOS on my Samsung SM-J320F. All good but internal space was reduced. This phone have 8 GB but I receive this when I run df:
