how do you go about partitioning n900 anyways any usefull posts you know i can have a read in . !

ta

install backup menu in the first post the follow this guide
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1652293/+1587#

or u can repatition it manually but it's a bit hard

In theory isn't necessary a new partition for every installation

i.e. this configuration:

1 - for stock maemo kernel
2 - for kernel power 46
3 - for backupmenu
4 - NITDroid 0.0.8
5 - NITDroid 0.0.9
6 - Gingerbread by mido.fayad
7 - Gingerbread classic by e-eyes

is possible with a single partition (eventually even a only bigger optFS) and some simple patches to multiboot code

@mido.fayad

I still get failed error:no such file or directory when i try mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and

I repartitioned again with MyDocs now at 18gb,Home at 8GB & Extended partition of 3GB (both mmcblk0p5 & mmcblk0p6 are 1.5GB each)

Also I do not have /and directory when i check through WinSCP.

ok , i thought that u already have nitdroid before so u have /and

anyway , it's simple

write the following

root

mkdir /and

then follow the instructions

Hi

yes create and directory

# mkdir -p /and

afert that try again mounting your partiton

# mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and -o noatime,rw

-o is option
noatime, don't write date access to file
rw, mode read and write

hey .

there is no need to all this command

mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and is enough

Hey does anyone have a custom emmc image I can flash?
Or can I create or edit one from Ubuntu and flash it.
As I don't want to have to screw around with my current installation.
I would rather just backup and reinstall
Thanks in advance!

@ maemo55

i think ur problem is : when the program asks u about rootfs backup , u choose optfs backup

so u should have this error

YOU SHOULD choose the correct optfs and correct rootfs when the program asks u about them
