Using the instructions, the ext2 file was correctly mounted in /.debian (this is progress ). However, when executing the tar command (either the one in the old post from qole, or the on in the thread I linked above), it is strangely fast... And in fact, it did not copy anything to the new partition. When I am in /.debian and do a "ls", nothing is listed. If I use Filebox to browse in /.debian, I see the directories and files. They are there. But I can't copy them to the new partition using Filebox 'cause there is not enough memory, it said.

Why doesn't it work with the tar command?


P.S.
When I mount the ext2 image into /.debian using "qmount", the terminal states that the filesystem is ext2. But my dedicated partition will be ext3. Could it be that that prevents the copy from the /.debian directory (mounting point of the ext2 file) to the /mnt/n900sd (mounting point of the ext3 dedicated partition)?
