how to change easy from one mounted micro sdhc to a new one?
 

Hello,

i want to switch from one mounted micro-sdhc to a new bigger one. If i do 'mount', there are much different mounted points to this card because of the installed debian-chroot-packet. Are there any hints for an easy way like
- 'umount/deactivate xyz',
- 'mount whole card at one point',
- 'tar cfz mountpoint to local place in N900',
- umount card,
- insert new,
- mount new,
- tar cvf to mountpoint, and
- remount whatever necessary for debian-chroot
?

Wait a second. What exactly did you install that's messing you up, and how does it change the way the cards mount? I'm confused. o_0

Run the "Close Debian" program (there should be an icon in the program list) to shutdown the chroot. You can then tar up the contents of /media/mmc1 to /home/user/MyDocs, unmount, swap, and untar. Then run the "Debian chroot" program to restart the chroot.

Hi,

done the following:
close debian
cd /home/user/MyDocs
tar cvf ./mmcq.tar /media/mmc1/.
# ... after two hours taring ...
umount /media/mmc1
# change card
# new card was automounted to /media/mmc1
cd /
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/mmcq.tar
# one hour later ... there was something on /media/mmc1
# but a "Debian LXDE" showed a
# Mount failure!
# /home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v2.img.ext2.bz2 failed to mount on loop0
# mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /.debian failed: Invalid argument!

any suggestions to this?

first, close chroot

check your /home/user/.chroot

make sure the image path is correct

Did you run the "Debian chroot" first? And is your debian image file actually in MyDocs or /media/mmc1?

thanks, that was the solution, the path IMAGE=/media/mmc1/debian-m5-v2.img.ext2 was not there anymore.
Unbelievably, I don't know why this changed or did not work this time after the changing.
