I see how my signature can be misleading. I reflashed last week and reinstalled programs and easy debian, but not cssu and KP yet.

Ding!

Please first install KP52 first and test if flopswap is PROPERLY fixed.

There are fixes that make Maemo put mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 in the correct place from the stock. I don't have the exact details to hand but it's the way stock Maemo mounts on boot.

While I am surprised nobody has reported this yet, it means most users are on KP or CSSU.

If I can prove that xyz has to be installed I will repackage with a dependency.

Kernel Power 52 installed: partitions in the correct place now. Flopswap seems to be working fine too; don't see why it wouldn't - but what did you mean by properly?

Perhaps Flopswap. Easy Debian and/or KP wikis need editing to include this experience.

@chill
Have you installed KP52 only or CSSU too?

Basically stock Maemo mounts the uSD card first if you have one. So uSD becomes mmc0 and internal mmc1, if you don't have a card it become mmc0 on internal only. IIRC I was told KP fixes this so the card will always mount at mmc1.

With not having any issues reported I left FlopSwap with no dependencies. However it seems it definitely doesn't work without this fix.
I either need to detect the fix and move the partitions accordingly or just depend on the fix which will be much easier.

Easy Debian is a different matter looking at the source it should work with it fine, but it will mess the calculations up until a reboot; due to my finding in above posts. I will include this in Flopswap wiki when I can confirm detail above.

Idea: have Flopswap emit an audio notification when it's done reswapping. That way the user doesn't have to stand by for that two-second yellow banner. Ding! as sixwheeledbeast said. :-)

Flopswap update is in progress I have already modified it to have another banner message when Refresh is complete.
I have also added the missing "%" on the recommended dialog.

However ... that's just the tip of the iceberg ..

Hopefully when tested it will "detect" swap locations automatically using "blkid". This will fix the issue of having to have Kernel Power installed. Also a huge code clean up and tidy, I just haven't had time to complete the last task before release

I notice that right now in swapswitch.sh you are printing the banner with the new swap only if it switched from device to SD card, otherwise there is no banner. Maybe change that, too, unless you already have.

Meanwhile I've inserted lines in swapswtich.sh to have espeak tell me when Flopswap is done switching swap.

hello everybody,

i just don't get it. i have the partititions like its needed.
but flopswap is giving me both instead of one and the only way to make it work like it should is to insert the sd card while the phone is on and then fresh swap to sd. but in this case tracker seems not to show me my files on the sd and after every reboot i have to repeat everything. also if i selct swap to sd on boot, if i reboot it is doubling my swap...

im on the newest cssu with kernelpower52, 1ghz and smartreflex and beside this the device is running wonderfully..
any ideas?

Don't worry I think I do

This is the thing I am working on currently.

I think you have installed all the updates from CSSU-devel which has updated your upstart package.

This new upstart package now searches for swaps on uSD so Flopswap shouldn't need to. In doing so it strips swap to every swap it sees on boot. However, before I can release my new compatible package I need to make it backwards compatible for non-CSSU devel (latest upstart) users.

To confirm above assumptions please post the output of the following in code box(es) or pastebin link.

Code:
blkid | grep swap
dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' upstart
cat /etc/default/mount-opts-overwrite
cat /etc/default/mount-opts
cat /etc/fstab
