Hey all,
I figured this might be of some help to someone else as well in the future. I have encountered a strange issue with my microSD card that I put in from my previous N810, namely that it became read-only. I looked around in the forums but couldn't find anything useful. I tried checking the fat filesystem, mounting/remounting, restarting but no help, mmc1 remained read only.

I just did a reformat on it and it seemed to be working.

1.
Install openssh-server or gainroot and become root

2.
Code:
umount /media/mmc1
3.
Code:
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1
4.
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1
Cheers!

You can also open File Manager on the N900, tap (and hold) on the card, then select "Format" from the pop-up menu.

Lol. Well that's what I was originally looking for =)

It doesn't allow to choose different file systems though (ext2/3) so the original post might still be useful..
