I now also have the Kingston 2 GB card. Some operations are slow...

But i'm also having a problem where Linux (Ubuntu or Knoppix) will dismount - as if the plug were pulled. Three different hosts. I've experimented with keeping the cable stationary, etc., and have not found a reliable procedure. After a copy and sync, i do a 'diff -R' to see if everything got there. Often it hasn't.

Also, fat32 (if that's what it is) consumes huge amounts of space. Approx 32 MB of stuff on the 64 MB card expands to over 128 MB on the 2 GB card.

What I'd really like is ext3 - an ext2 Linux filesystem with journalling. That's a filesystem that would be resistant to damage. My hosts are generally all Linux, and could mount it. But what has to happen on the Nokia to make this work? Some gainroot and fstab magic? Or something else too? Another thing i'd like is to be able to install apps on the large external chip... My internal FS is full, more or less.

I'm also thinking of setting up swap...
