For the supported file systems :

Quote:
The microSD card can be formated with a supported file system such as ext2, ext3, FAT16, FAT32, XFS, JFS and UBIFS.
@ mikkov:

I want to get it right. So if I say :

Quote:
The 32 GB is formated as 768 MB of swap, ~1 GB of ext3 mounted on /home (actually, application are in /opt which is a symbolic link to /home/opt), for extra applications, and ~25 GB of FAT32 mounted on /home/user/MyDocs, for movies, music, documents.
I am using Ubuntu and never knew about all that. :eek:

Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 
I don't think that there is support for XFS and JFS, or do you have source for that?

Also AFAIK UBIFS cannot be used on mircoSD. It is for raw flash media such as 256 MB NAND on N900 and N8x0. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBIFS

Second quote is factually correct, but it is not very good as a sentence. It needs to be rewritten.

@ mikkov :

Does it sound better like that ?

Quote:
There are many applications already written for Maemo based on the previous Internet Tablets. As a new feature to the Maemo operating system, Maemo 5 will support Qt. The Forum Nokia Wiki has quality-controlled articles which support Qt development. The Maemo operating system has a development group on the Forum Nokia Wiki at Forum Nokia Wiki Maemo. The programming languages Python and C++ will also be supported. Only C and GTK+ are actually officially supported for now.

Again, last sentence doesn't fit in there. This is why I don't usually edit wikipedia :)

The kernel does support it. But just to be safe I will delete them and leave only the most common (ext2, ext3, FAT16 and FAT32.

I stand corrected. I got excited here. I copie/pasted all the FS supported by the kernel. Some might not be supported at all and some might not be supported on the microSD card.

OK, thank you, that is what I was looking for for the moment. I will rephrase it when an opportunity presents itself. When I won't be able to abuse your time anymore ... :p

Are you talking about Linux kernel in general or about the kernel which ships with Maemo5?

Not a word about premium services or voice guided navigation.
Ha ! I think I understand now. Do you mean there will be no premium services (voice guided navigation) to buy because 1) it is preloaded or because 2) it will not be available for Maemo 5 ?

I deduced a premium service will be available to buy because the N900 comes pre-loaded with Ovi Maps and this application (on other Nokia phones) is upgradable with premium services.

So what is your stand on this one ?

Kernel which ships with Maemo 5. I am trying to find the link where I found this information but I lost it. Might not be reliable. I will leave it with : "such as ext2/3 and FAT16/32". Meaning there might be other FS supported.

Still, I don't see why somebody would take the support for a those FS out of the kernel ?

Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 
I mean that stick to the facts, make no assumptions. If there is no reliable source for premium services or voice navigation, it usually means that it isn't there. Remember that spec sheets are marketing material and that they say what is there, not what was left out.

So there is no voice navigation for N900, unless somebody comes with reliable souce which says otherwise.

A good reminder for anyone editing an article on Wikipedia.

That will stand for the supported FS too. Let's not assume XFS and JSF are supported.
