@PB

Seems you misunderstood me (or my knowledge level). Surely not important, but ...

It's because you asked if it was ext2 that I thought it might mean that the given fsck command was effective only on an ext2 partition (although it turned out that the reason you asked was that its job was being done automatically on ext3) -- for someone who doesn't know Linux, and just uses most the commands by rote, it was a reasonable question. And, hey, thanks, I got an answer!

(Not to mention that between us we got the OP's problem solved.)

I take it back. It worked once, but immediately reverted to its prior state on reboot.

Sorry, jhford, I hijacked the thread for a little bit side track...

Here is a script I use for various tasks. It is a collection of many howtos here.

It has to run under root.

To clone SDs ( mmc2 to mmc1 or vice versa) you should run the script from flash.
I got it to run, trying to clone mmc1 to mmc2, both are 8G cards. mmc1 partition 6.3/1.5G and mmc2 partition none/1G (just try on an old card). I used option 4, to copy from mmc1 to mmc2, it tried to clone everything into the 1G partition and crashed for run out of space. Does the script automagically partition target SD card? Now I try to partition it first and see how it goes. Thanks for the script,


bun

No the script doesn't partition the cards. I was thinking about it but there are too many ways to partition the cards so I let you to do it your way

You can open the script to see that I just copied the commands from various posts on this forum.

What is your system? what did you try? and what is the current status?
