How to make more that 5 partitions on microSD?
 
Hello guys!
Can you please help me to repart my nokia n900 sd card?

I was trying to do that via my ubuntu11, but have no chance..i can do only 4 primary partitions, but i need more that 5..WHY? - i just need it, dont worry.

So now i have nitdroid on /dev/mmcblk1p2 and *k1p1 vfat..

My msd size is 16 GB..

Lets do
dev/mmcblk1p1 vfat - any space..
dev/mmcblk1p2 - ext3 - 4gb
dev/mmcblk1p3 - ext3- 4gb
dev/mmbclk1p4 - ext3 - 2gb
dev/mmcblk1p5 - ext3 - 2gb
dev/mmcblk1p6 - ext3 - 2gb

Use 1 logical partition as an extended partition and stick all your extra partitions in said extended partition.

Also, gparted.
