we added a new partition in order to have ESP-Insights working. That resulted in 64K less FS partition. We need to update all labels still

Is this the reason why when we update from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6 it always reformat my SPIFFS partition ?? If yes is there a way to avoid that because it errase all saved data doing that!!

Thanx a lot!

@Speedy2k the one thing that comes to mind is to have a custom partitions.csv in your sketch folder that does not have that extra partition and extends the SPIFFS to the previous value (more or less copy the partition scheme from 2.0.5)

@me-no-dev I encountered errors about core dump partition. I have a question - what if I OTA update my boards that doesn't have this partition? Is it needed or can I continue without using it (use older partition format)? What are benefits? I hope it won't cause any issues once we move to ESP-IDF 5.X based Arduino core?

It is required by esp-insights. If you aren't using that, then you don't need the crash dump partition. OTA updates will work just fine, the size of the firmware partitions has not changed.
