Ignore
 

Never mind

I always used to think the guys that would say "read" were jerks, but it's very obvious that you didn't read a hint of that whole wiki entry on the subject of extrootfs.

With that being said I can almost guarantee that you will need to reflash your device because you didn't follow directions. Read the wiki entry at maemo.org and if you still (honestly) have questions feel free to ask again. It's really self explanitory though...and this is comming from a guy who is command line challenged.

You probably should have gone with your first inclination.

Could have, would have, shouldn't have...and didn't.
