Example of storage regions after installing debian (root=/dev/ps3vflashh3)
ps3d - 3 accessable regions ps3da : 114473 MiB (234441648) ps3db : 74281 MiB (152128408) ps3dc : 2047 MiB (4194296) ps3nflash - 4 accessable regions ps3nflasha : 16 MiB (32768) ps3nflashb : 14 MiB (30712) ps3nflashc (256) ps3nflashd (1024) ps3vflash - 7 accessable regions ps3vflasha : 38144 MiB (78118912) ps3vflashc : 199 MiB (409088) ps3vflashd : 16 MiB (32768) ps3vflashe (1024) ps3vflashf (16384) ps3vflashg (512) ps3vflashh : 37888 MiB (77594624) ps3vflashh1 () ps3vflashh2 (swap) ps3vflashh3 (ext3)
notes: ps3dc is used by the PS3 as temp for installing updates. When installing PUP files, the content gets unpacked there, checked - the system flags the update bit and reboots. After reboot it sees the update bit and installs the files from ps3dc without rechecking! (only in older version though)
ps3dd (if present) is the partition made by 3.15 and older OtherOS from the XMB
graf proposes in his howto/guide to partition the vflash region 7 (ps3vflashh) as follows:
ps3vflashh ps3vflashh1 (FAT) 100 MiB boot partition for later use ps3vflashh2 (SWAP) 2 GiB shared swap space ps3vflashh3 (EXT3) 20 GiB for Gentoo ps3vflashh4 (EXT3) 20 GiB for Debian

Q: Does this work on these models? A: Use OtherOS++ that method seems to be working now both for NAND and NOR models
