Now that I think. On SSD "contiguous space" has no meaning. We could virtually join space in partition 3 to partition 10 and reorder to be contiguous without moving any data. Create new bigger partition 3 any time.
Has anybody designed for this?
Not sure what you mean with "reordering" but yes, on SSD logically concatenating multiple non-contiguous partitions should have no negative impact like on rotating disks.
I meant that if you have a layout of partitions like this: 1 2 3 4 5 on an SSD disk and you want to join 1 and 5, they could be joined by the firmware, reordering the LBAs. Nah, brain fart.
