Problem/Justification
My mini NAS has a small eMMC that I’ve instaled TrueNAS on (mmcblk0) but it telling me that I’ve unassigned disks. These are the two 4MB boot partitions on the eMMC, mmcblk0boot0 and mmcblkboot1. These are not useful as storage, TrueNAS should just ignore mmcblkXbootX partitions entirely.
Impact
User experience is frustrating with visible partitions that I do not want to use.
User Story
The user doesn’t get pestered to use two 4MB partitions as storage, and is happy.

It can be a good idea to mark some disks as “reserved” or “hidden” (but visible on the disk screen, albeit in a different color). This way, we can avoid using them and displaying them as free disks on the “storage” screen.
Some of these reserved disks could be labeled if they are used in a virtual machine or to explain the reason for their exclusion.
I have a Beelink me mini and I don’t want to use the mmcblk0 disk and its partitions. I’m reserving them as a second boot disk for troubleshooting.
