You should have made a blank ext3 disk image and
Code:
cp -a /media/N800 /mnt/diskimage
and formatted the SDcard, then
Code:
cp -a /mnt/diskimage /media/N800
IMO, ext2 is better for flash memory, as the journaling of EXT3 will quickly wear flash out. EXT4 does behave well on flash though, but I don't think it's available on the N800's ancient kernel.
