One question / note on cards larger than 2GB where you are formating a single file system you will need to use ext3 instead of ext2 so ext3.ko would need to be loaded as well. ext2 will only go up to 2GB James ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

The real fun comes if you use the 770/n800 as a middle man between your laptop/desktop and phone. Create your own ringtones and backgrounds and load them right up. The heck with paying 1.99 for a 15 second capture, or someones bad anime artwork. *grin* For even more "fun" use fuser (to the developers, thanks you got it working faster than I could) then if you have openssh installed (windows, mac or Unix, I've tested windows and linux) you can mount a drive/dir of your desktop and use it as if it were a local drive. Right at the moment I have a 770 that thinks it has 600GB of drive space, and I'm 40 miles away from the parent box.

Re: [maemo-users] os2006 frequent vfat badblocks
I have questions regarding that, I just did some file transfer and I move a couple of files with no problem. When the 3rd came up it took a while to transfer (the size was the same). Then I move some more, and I unmount it. (using linux) The unmounting took considerable time, around 2 minutes. In the past, unmounting it is almost automatically. On top of that I got 1 file corrupted (it wasn't the one that hanged during transfer). Any idea what could be going on and what steps should I take to keep my storage up to speed. This is because, on linux, it's copying the data asynchronously (in the background), so when you go to unmount the device, it blocks until all the actual file transfer is completed. I noticed in the past that I would get file corruption problems when transferring large amounts of data to the device via usb; it seemed like the 770 was just getting overwhelmed with too much data at once.

as i've begun to use a bit more the mmc memory of my n770 (now i use it as music player) i get corrupted mp3 files that media player can't play. i've noticed that the vfat fs gets corrupted and has plenty bad blocks: # mkdosfs -c -v /dev/sdb1 mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) /dev/sdb1 has 32 heads and 32 sectors per track, logical sector size is 512, using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 1002496 sectors; file system has 2 16-bit FATs and 16 sectors per cluster. FAT size is 245 sectors, and provides 62623 clusters. Root directory contains 512 slots. Volume ID is 45b77a5a, no volume label.
