Create userdata partition
- Calculate userdata size using equation: X = 10.9 + [userdata size in GB]
- Run command
mkpart userdata ext4 10.9GB XGB(replace X with calculated vaule)
If userdata size is 16 GB, then X = 10.9 + 16 = 26.9
So command ismkpart userdata ext4 10.9GB 26.9GB
Create efi partition (for future use)
mkpart esp fat32 XGB YGB
Replace X with value calculated in prevous paragraph
Replace Y with X+1
If userdata size is 16 GB, then command ismkpart esp fat32 26.9GB 27.9GB
Create partition for linux
- for 128 GB model:
mkpart linux ext4 YGB 126GB - for 256 GB model:

mkpart linux ext4 27.9GB 126GBfor 128 GB model
mkpart linux ext4 27.9GB 254GBfor 256 GB model
