hi again,

my goal: copy a bootable partition from one sd card onto another one, enlarging it. original: 1gb mmc: mmcblk0p1: 500mb, fat16. mmcblk0p2: 450mb, ext2, bootable
destination: 16gb mmc (15gb actual): mmcblk0p1: 13500mb, fatXX. mmcblk0p2: 1500mb, ext2, bootable.

The loss of information from the fat16 partition is not a problem. I just need to keep the bootable partition as is, just adding free space.
Any solution is more than welcome.


1- Acronis true image: did not find any corresponding option. was able to copy the partitions without changing their size (Not what I need)
2- successfully created a jffs2 image of the original. still unable to copy it onto another SD card.
the original size is 396mb. when I created a jffs2, it was only 210mb. I am a bit reluctant to flash it onto the internal memory in case it would be too large.

Any suggestions? thank you.
