So i ask and thank for the advised opinions of this community.
Some days ago i repartitioned my N900 EMMC using gparted running in my linux desktop pc with my N900 in USB storage rd mode.
I follow the solution #6 in wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash and everything went fine. Gparted did move and resize the partitions and all my data was preserved.
After reboot all my installed applications and also multiboot / nitroid and powerkernel oc are working as before without any problem.
What i don't like are the warnings that sfdisk reports:
Is this a problem? Can my file system be corrupted in the future because of this?
The "start: (c,h,s) expected (0,2,1) found (1,0,1)" warning in sfdisk is (as i found in some articles) caused by the partitions not ending on a cylinder boundary. This could be avoided if i have checked the "round to cylinders" option in gparted.
It seams however that this is harmless and there is no risk for the file system integrity.
Using "fdisk" i get no warnings at all:
Where does the kernel keep the disk geometry parameters?
Thanks for your comments
