LwVM (Lightweight Volume Manager) - partition table, which is used by iOS since 5.0.

Structure

typedef struct _LwVMPartitionRecord {
        uint64_t type[2]; //Should be equal to LwVMPartitionTypeHFS (see below) on an unmodified device.

        uint64_t end; //End.
        uint64_t attribute; // 0 == unencrypted; 0x1000000000000 == encrypted
        uint16_t partitionName[0x24]; // UTF-16 encoded
} __attribute__ ((packed)) LwVMPartitionRecord;

typedef struct _LwVM {
