This setup was stable for about a week. After experimenting with the correct time to mount the drive during the startup process, my 770 got the dreaded "reboot forever" disease and I had to reflash it. I'm probably going to give up on mounting the /home/user dir on flash and just settle for the swap partition for now.
in various posts. Here is what I did:
To partition MMC card:
- Make sure nothing is accessing the MMC
- Plug in USB cable
(it will now be visible to your linux host)
- On linux: fdisk /dev/sda
- Proceed to partition the MMC. I did:
First 40MB = type Linux (0x83)
Last 24MB = type Linux Swap (0x82)
- Save the partition table.
- On linux: mkswap /dev/sda2 (the 24MB partition)
- On linux: mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1 (the 40MB partition)
Change /etc/fstab on 770 to look like this:
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
# ext3 partition
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1 ext3 defaults 0 0
# swap partition, 24MB
/dev/mmcblk0p2 none swap sw 0 0
This is all fine, and I can now manually mount the ext3 partition. However,
there are the following problems:
1) This partition is no longer automounted (others have seen this as well)
2) The "Memory card" link in File Manager, and all file requesters, is no longer
visible! This is no problem for the FM since I don't use it anyway, but I would like to download onto the MMC from websites when I select a file link.
3) By default the 'user' could not write to the new partition for some reason. I had to chown user /media/mmc1, and that fixed it.
If anyone figures out how to fix the automount problem and especially the invisible card problem, please reply! I won't bother with partitioning my new 1G card until all these mounting problems are solved.
