just one thing. iim gonna have to umount to do this right?
So how do i undo the umount when im done?

If you're not running the cloned OS, but the default one, like I said up there, only the vfat partition should be mounted

should work

should also do the trick

=)

Edit: scratch that. You mean re-mounting? when you restart your device to reboot the cloned OS, the vfat partition will be mounted automatically, and you'll have to take the steps I mentioned above in your cloned OS to make the swap activate automatically, so that pretty much covers all partitions that exist on your internal memory.

Is that what you meant?

good stuff thanks alot i think it worked, rebooting now.
how do i check if it worked though?

Remember that you'll have to add the line to the /etc/init.d/rcS again in your cloned system. You have only activated the swap for your original Maemo so far.

To check if everything worked fine, run
in your terminal, and it will probably show your ram and your swap there.

To see if you're actually running the cloned OS, Settings -> Control Panel -> Memory. You should see there that the "Device" section has all the memory you delegated to it, and your internal / external memory storage (the lines below, If I remember correctly) should probably show around 450mb internal, 8gb external. =)

bad news. didnt work, cant boot from immc2 anymore :/ and in the normal os swap is showing up as 0

i got the swap working . gonna try seeing if i can get booting back into the cloned os


Edit: I think the cloned os is corrupt now. im gonna reclone it right now.

Penguinbait's Console-Tools works fine with all the released maemo OSes through 43-7.

I'm glad you're getting an education, but, man, are you making work for yourself! (For godsakes, I did all the work you see in my first sig post -- it took me days to create that How-To -- but I nonetheless recommend Penguinbait's tools instead.)

lol, i just read more in depth into ur thread and im kicking myself in the back of the head right now, wouldve been much easier, just about done the long and winded way, hopefully it works, if not ill give ur way a shot. thanks alot though

yES!!!!!!!!! recloning os worked . now to see if the swap partition will work in the cloned os.


EDIT* wtf.... swap partition worked without having to put the swapon command back into that file. is it because i cloned the os after i made the swap?


Anyways its all running perfectly. swap is working and cloned os booting fine. Thank you so much for all ur help

nooooooooooooooooooo made a mistake

the partition i boot from is only 500mb, swap is 500mb, and storage is 1gb. wanted the boot partition to be 1gb . do u guys think 500mb is enough?
