I have the following disks:



tatiana@berlin ~ $ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0rpmb 179:24 0 4M 0 disk
mmcblk0boot0 179:8 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:16 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk0 179:0 0 29,1G 0 disk
├─mmcblk0p4 179:4 0 6,6G 0 part /home
├─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 18,6G 0 part /
├─mmcblk0p3 179:3 0 191M 0 part /boot/efi
└─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 3,7G 0 part [SWAP]


My first question is: why are there 3 disks mmcblk0rpmb, mmcblk0boot0 and mmcblk0boot1, when I have only one SD card? mmcblk0 is the disk where I have my linux distribution installed.



Also I have the following:



tatiana@berlin ~ $ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 29,1 GiB, 31268536320 bytes, 61071360 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 9B2ADCED-F492-4EDF-AC8D-D29AD20B8E35

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 7813119 7811072 3,7G Linux swap
/dev/mmcblk0p2 7813120 46874623 39061504 18,6G Linux filesystem
/dev/mmcblk0p3 46874624 47265791 391168 191M EFI System
/dev/mmcblk0p4 47265792 61069311 13803520 6,6G Linux filesystem

Disk /dev/mmcblk0boot1: 4 MiB, 4194304 bytes, 8192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes


Disk /dev/mmcblk0boot0: 4 MiB, 4194304 bytes, 8192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes


Why fdisk doesn't list mmcblk0rpmb as lsblk does?



Finally, when I open gparted, it only shows mmcblk0. To open other disks I have to write, e.g. gparted /dev/mmcblk0boot1. There I create a partition table, but fail to do so and get the message Operation not permitted during write on /dev/mmcblk0boot0 The same happens with mmcblk0boot1.



How do I format the SD card? Thanks for your help.
