### 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`.
