`fastboot flash partition` doesn't work on lk1st

[iovxw]

Is this expected behavior?

$ fastboot getvar product
product: LK1ST_MSM8916
Finished. Total time: 0.002s

$ fastboot flash partition ./gpt_both0.bin
Sending 'partition' (33 KB)                        OKAY [  0.005s]
Writing 'partition'                                FAILED (remote: 'partition table doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Currently this is disabled on purpose for safety reasons, since users might otherwise easily corrupt the entire storage by flashing a wrong partition table.

Perhaps we can add a compile time option to enable it? Or a new oem command (with appropriate warnings) to enable it at runtime?

I suggest doing this from linux, the tools are more stable and reliable. Refer to jumpdrive and sgdisk scripts.
