The difficulty in using this script is to make sure the ext2 partitions of SD target is always equal or similar to the source. So, if one starts out with 2 SD and partition them the same ext2 partition, there is no problem. If you already have one running and now try to make a 2nd SD to match the source, it takes some time, but can be done. I did it in 4 trials
I put in ext SD slot
xterm
root
umount /media/mmc1
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 -uM
0, match, 0C (match is where one adjust the size to make a match)
,,,
Return
return
reboot
after reboot, check
xterm
cat /proc/partitions
To be able to freely clone between MMC1 and MMC2, they should be of similar size. Once I made a pair SD with the exact ext2 partitions, now, I can truely backup, the whole 9 yards, without having to worry about 'what if' when installing new apps. This is really the app Nokia should have include to begin with. Hope to see it on Rover?
If you have NOT flash/clone/backup your tablet lately........you have been neglecting your tablet :-) . It is now 12 oclock in the morning, does anybody know where your tablet is? Just a joke, dont get too serious.
