Right before intializing of userstore parition (i.e. before creating of parition table and formatting of new parition), usestore script clears first cylinder of /dev/mmcblk0p4 with the following command (some values are defined with variables, but I've expanded them here just for convenience):
Code:
# clear the first cylinder
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p4 bs=64 count=1
Does anybody have any hypothesis about point of this command?
