Hi there,, :)
Sorry For annoying u with my problems... but i have problem with "repartitioning my N900 Internal memory".
u can find it here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash#Solution_.237:_arbitrary_ size_for_.2Fhome_and_MyDocs_.28PR_1.2.2F3_compatib le.29

I did all steps perfectly... and everything was OK :)
But i faced an error in x-terminal command line "mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument"
After This step "-Mount the ext3 partition as /mnt

mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt"
What should i do? :confused:
Please help.
Thanks in advance :rolleyes:

No typo? Like mixing large 'o' with 0 or small 'L' with 1? Hint: Try bash completion with the 'TAB'-key
Did you apply the file system to the partition successfully? Try checking the file system or try to give the file system with the -t option to mount command.mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt

Thank u too much for replying :)
But I have no typo in any command...
I tried mount command with "-t"... I faced the same error.. "Invalid argument" :confused:

Sorry for annoying but i am stuck!

Did you check the file system sudo gainroot
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p2
Please look again at the partition table, if it was applied correctly or post, with copy and pastesudo gainroot
sfdisk -l

Thx For Replying :)

I entered FSCK command... But it gave me an error line "unable to set superlock flags on /dev/mmcblk0p2"
Sorry for annoying :o Butis it possible to leave this step and restore backupmenu image? i wasn't able to restore any backupmenu image because of the corrupted internal memory... but if i tried now... will it be restored on system files on SD card?
Sorry again for annoying u :o

Vielen Dank im Voraus :)

"unable to set superlock flags on /dev/mmcblk0p2"surely indicates that the partition has no proper file-system applied to. Though i have backupmenu installed also i never successfully restored an image i took before, so i am of no help at all regarding backupmenu.
May be you post in the dedicated thread for backupmenu?!
