Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Looks like I'll have to get myself a faster SD card, I don't think a Class 2 card will be enough soon :p

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Can i read anywhere which class is my SD card?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

I tried again 2day in Terminal on my Mac which SSH connected to N900, and give me feedback like this:

Nokia-N900:~# unmount /dev/mmcblk1p1
-sh: unmount: not found
Nokia-N900:~# sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
> ,<100>,C
> ,,L
> ,,
> ,,
> EOF
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...
BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy

This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
Umount all file systems, and swapoff all swap partitions on this disk.
Use the --no-reread flag to suppress this check.
Use the --force flag to overrule all checks.

Nokia-N900:~# unmount /dev/mmcblk1p1
-sh: unmount: not found
Nokia-N900:~# mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 -n sdcard
mkfs.vfat 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
mkfs.vfat: /dev/mmcblk1p1 contains a mounted file system.
Nokia-N900:~# mke2fs -j -m0 -L NITDroid /dev/mmcblk1p2
mke2fs 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

Class6 card on its way here :)


On the package or maybe on the sd card itself.

Absolute legend!!

Thanks man!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Typo mate :) You wrote unmount instead on umount

Theres no "n" :D Give that a whirl, but try and use the help thread...thats the proper place :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Cheers mate, I corrected the typo...however, it gave sth back like this

Nokia-N900:~# umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
Nokia-N900:~# sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
> ,<100>,C
> ,,L
> ,,

OK

Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 31000 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Old situation:

For this listing I'll assume that geometry.

ericube cross posting INTO A DEVELOPMENT THREAD will not get you help any faster, maybe if you actualyl read the howto PROPERLY you wouldn have a problem, and personally if you cant do a simple bit of partitioning a card using cli you shouldn be trying nitdroid

edit: but remove the <> and it will sort it your not supposed to have those in as is clearly mentioned in howto

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

There is an alternative way to resize/create/delete partition(s) on the flash card. Since all of you are using either virtual machine or live cd, why not download and install gparted ? If you use ubuntu live cd, it's already installed there. If you are using vmware, and your system is based on debian, just type "sudo su" then "apt-get update && apt-get install gparted"
and then don't close the window and type "gparted".

actually if you notice everyone is using n900 itself :)
