N810:
The internal memory "card" is mmcblk0 and contains only one partition (mmcblk0p1) which is slightly smaller than the whole device here. In more detail:
You should be able to fix it by unmounting it, running sfdisk on it to delete and recreate the first partition and finally using mkfs.vfat -F 32 to "format" the partition as FAT32.
Code:
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 1966080 mmcblk0 254 1 1966072 mmcblk0p1 254 8 7977472 mmcblk1 254 9 7973376 mmcblk1p1
Code:
Nokia-N810-50-2:~# sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0 Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 61440 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 0+ 61439 61440- 1966072 b W95 FAT32 /dev/mmcblk0p2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/mmcblk0p3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/mmcblk0p4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty

@Ima - Looks like you have an 8gb card in the external slot. Can I ask what you are using? Sandisk 8gb micro with a mini converter?

This can be done from the GUI as well. JFTR:
- Open File Manager
- Click Memory Card
- Select Format Memory Card from Menu
And it worked.
/EDIT
But..., does this mean Nokia sold me (and others) an internal card with a broken partition table? Don't they ever test anything? (I read people lost data on USB sticks in similar situations. IMHO, any sane system should refuse to mount this, but, of course, no one asked for MHO.)

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

Code:
cp -r /media/mmc2 /media/mmc1/
Code:
find /media/mmc1/mmc2
Code:
du -sk /media/mmc2 du -sk /media/mmc1/mmc2
After formatting copy it back via
Code:
cp -r /media/mmc1/mmc2/* /media/mmc2/

Thanks, thats what I needed. I followed those steps and the partition size looks good now.
I appear to have all the files back, but there were about seven I/O errors reported by 'dmesg' so perhaps something is corrupted. I was initially unable to format the card until I removed the virtual memory space I had allocated to it. That was still activated when I performed the copy so maybe that had something to do with the I/O errors (?)

Open a Terminal on the tablet and type
Optionally, if you're on a linux computer, attach the tablet via USB and do the same on the host computer. If you're as confused as I am, read dmesg.
Thank you.
