Hi,

I have run across several similar posts on the forums, and was trying to find out what the best practices for the externam SD card. I got my N810 the night before last, flashed with the newest Diablo release and installed apps.

In essence, I am a Linux geek, so I have formatted the card and put an ext2 filesystem on it (was considering a journalling one, either riserfs (my preference) or ext3. On one hand, I was concerned about the number of writes to the card, but on the other hand, by the time it fails, I should be able to get a 16GB or 32GB card for next to nothing.

So my question is the use of the card. I would like to use both the internal and external as efficiently as possible, whether it means splitting the apps etc between the internal and external or installing the whole ball of wax to the external card. My main concern here is that I don't want to paint myself into a corner of some wierd configuration which will be unmanageable when it comes time to reflash.

As much as I hate doing it, I could symlink directories from /media/mmc2 to /media/mmc1. Or is there a way to tell apps to look on /media/mmc1? For instance, I am going to have to several large directories, e.g. my gpodder directory, movies, etc, as well as things like openvpn that I would prefer on the 8GB card.

Thanks,
