fstab: Add misc partition
In Replicant 6 we have the following in
rootdir/fstab.smdk4x12 in device/samsung/i9300:
/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/OTA /misc emmc defaults defaults
And without this patch, the Replicant 11 recovery complains
about a missing /misc partition.
Once the recovery is booted we see the following on the
bottom of the screen on the GT-I9300:
E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to
find /misc partition
And when we select "Apply update from ADB" in the menu, we
have the following on the bottom of the screen:
E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to
find /misc partition
E:Failed to WriteUpdateInProgress: faile
d to find /misc partition
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filena
me>"...
With this fix all these warnings disappear on the GT-I9300.
And while the Replicant 6.0 fstab of the GT-I9305 doesn't
have a similar entry, the GT-I9305 also has an OTA partition.
The OTA/misc partition seems to be used for communicating
with the recovery by writing some binary data on the
first 32 bytes of it[1]:
"If the device uses an unmodified AOSP recovery image,
the bootloader reads the first 32 bytes on the misc
partition; if the data there matches boot-recovery,
the bootloader boots into the recovery image."
