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 [http://grafchokolo.com/ps3-development-page.html/comment-page-10/#comment-3964 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
