guys, maemo is linux, you really don't have to worry about how the disk is partitioned - it sure as hell will be 'fixable' one way or the another (if not by repartitioning, then by using some loopback mount etc. etc.)..

I would consider this being a trivial problem - as soon as I have the device in my hands, I'll post some how-to.. But I'm quite sure this will be solved as soon as any other linux-user has the device in his hands ;-)
