I started playing with the n810 and got app crazy and well i'm sure as you know i ran out of space. I looked into extending the usr home but found that was not a good idea but booting from an SD card it.

So i have a microSD in a miniSD adapter that is a 8GB Class 4 SDHC. put that sucker in and followed this link https://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card from there i followed the partitioning steps noted in that article here https://wiki.maemo.org/Partitioning_a_flash_card

In following that article everything goes well except when i do mke2fs /dev/mmcblk1p2
it gets to Writing inode tablet: 7/57 and then it reboots the n810.


Any ideas? if i do this in gpart is does the same. If i format the whole 8gb sd it works with 1 ext2 partition.

Thanks in Advance
You can give this a try?
