If I am understanding this correctlt,it appears I have the same problem:

Code:
~ $ cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

31  0     128 mtdblock0
31  1     384 mtdblock1
31  2    2048 mtdblock2
31  3    2048 mtdblock3
31  4  257536 mtdblock4
254 0 3932160 mmcblk0
254 1 3928064 mmcblk0p1
254 8 1966080 mmcblk1
254 9 2007032 mmcblk1p1
~ $
I have a 4GB removable card, so I assume that in my case the mmcblk1 is the internal card. The p1 partition appears to be larger than the card size.

I haven't noticed any problems yet, but would like to resolve this before I do. I am a newbie to this so what is the best way to solve this and lose as little as possible. Is there a way to backup or copy everything that is on the internal memory card before reformatting it, and then to copy/restore it back? It is my understanding that the internal backup utility doesn't backup everything.

Thanks
