not mounted and not used at all, you can mount it by hand if you need it

How?! Can't figure out what device or whatever it is. My Linux use is limited to mostly user so far.
Also, to make a backup of this, can I just do a copy to another card? (Ok, maybe another tar at least)

Well, you can do anything but this is not a good idea, jffs2 compresses data by default when writing which is slow. Also it is not a filesystem suited for a lot of writing. IMO the best usage for it is to keep clean bootable system there for recovery when your main system on mmc breaks.Originally Posted by dgec
Can we use that memory for swap/virtual space?

So then you did 'umount /media/disk', moved card to the tablet and booted it without installing bootmenu or otherwise messing with initfs partition at all? And root filesystem is mounted read only? What firmware (kernel,initfs) is flashed on the tablet, same Diablo?
