Are your cards available after running gparted? They should remount when its complete..

Looks like it is working well now.

The cards appear to remount after running GParted. Not sure why they didn't do so before.

Please, could you change the menu item to simply "GParted" or "Partition Editor" or something? "GParted Hacked for Qole" is not my favorite menu item name... :)

I didn't like "partition editor" so I went with "GParted Hacked for Qole"

I suppose I can change it next time I go in there, but who knows what it might say when I am done :)

I updated the deb so e2fsprogs does not need to be installed. You can install gparted-hack on fresh flash with no pre-req's. I also updated the menu name "Partition Editor"

Enjoy, its working great

My positive feedback about the gparted for maemo.
Partition Editor on the menu, worked correctly to copy and resize 2 partitions on a 4Gb SD(fat32+ext3) to 8GB SD. :)

This program is magical. It allowed me to reconfigure my bro's flash drive with my n810 when his vista laptop couldn't. :)

Haven't been around for so long...
After some time my N800 was left in the drawer to "rest" I realized I needed it again (no need to spend money for a new e-reader I say :D)
The system was an ugly mess due to my last fiddling with the device, so I decided to reflash it with latest official firmware and updated to the stable branch of community SSU... piece of cake :)
Unfortunately all that glitters is not gold...
I used to have my N800 booting from SD, but console-tools won't work with CSSU... wanted to use gparted (I remember it worked pretty good and was way easier to use than command line to get the right sized partitions) but it cannot see any of the 2 16Gb SD cards...
I'm feeling so depressed... why everything that worked is now pretty much useless? Can somebody give me some help?
Thanks a lot :)

Update: reflashed again, Gparted works with plain diablo, CSSU (5.2010-33.1) makes devices invisible to it... :confused:
