= Erasing blocks =
The PS3 erases blocks in chunks of 0x40000 bytes, this is a sample of how the blocks are erased in a ros area (with offsets relatives to the start of the ros area):
Erase block 0 begins 0x0
Erase block 1 begins 0x40000
Erase block 2 begins 0x80000
Erase block 3 begins 0xC0000
Erase block 4 begins 0x100000
Erase block 5 begins 0x140000
Erase block 6 begins 0x180000
Erase block 7 begins 0x1C0000
Erase block 8 begins 0x200000
Erase block 9 begins 0x240000
Erase block 10 begins 0x280000
Erase block 11 begins 0x2C0000
Erase block 12 begins 0x300000
Erase block 13 begins 0x340000
Erase block 14 begins 0x380000
Erase block 15 begins 0x3C0000
Erase block 16 begins 0x400000
Erase block 17 begins 0x440000
Erase block 18 begins 0x480000
Erase block 19 begins 0x4C0000
Erase block 20 begins 0x500000
Erase block 21 begins 0x540000
Erase block 22 begins 0x580000
Erase block 23 begins 0x5C0000
Erase block 24 begins 0x600000
Erase block 25 begins 0x640000
