Thanks for the lowdown ACL. I'm not sure how much space you need for recovery/root, but I think you're right that we don't need a couple of the others. This is what I'll be using today, and maybe we can settle on this:

mtdparts=msm_nand:
0x00400000@0x01000000(recovery) - (4 MB)
0x0A000000@0x01400000(system) - (160 MB)
0x04000000@0x0B400000(cache) - (64 MB)
0x10C00000@0x0F400000(userdata) - (268 MB)

Gives extra headroom for Sense builds or future builds that get larger. Cache should be sufficient, but we would just take away from userdata and give to cache in the future if needed. And 250 MB are left for userdata (after modules) which is almost exactly what we have on Haret.

Let me know what you think and let's vote this thing
its looking better. I would say increase recovery by 4 more to make it 8mb. And reduce it out of cache. Those two can balance themselves out so we can leave sys and data. Recovery can server both as boot/recovery since it will have another kernel initrd and anything needed to rebuild android from the inside out. Prob a beefy busybox and every nand tool around.

I'm trying to find out on average how much space is actually used on cache. Not much since it looks like it gets wiped often. So 32mb is enough to have a good androidupdate.tgz incase we wanna update from nand itself. Let see what lmiller has to say ..

Also this link was helpful. Im taking appart all these images and stealing what we can.

How to: Rooting your Nexus One - a definitive guide to what's involved - Nexus One - News

They talk about recovery images and root boot. i already took appart some and they are interesting. Lots to learn

Edit: ok tore appart the whole recovery and we can definitely used some of these tools. Unfortunately i did find this..

Code:
device mtd@misc 0460 radio diag
This is from the modaco recovery and cotulla mentioned the CWM recovery may use it as well. Just that no one know whats it used for. Some poople say you can do without it, but i guess only testing will show. I'm not sure if our radio needs access to it? so this may require research.
