Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

tell me it means, and I will do, i do not understand it, does not mean i do not know.
knowledge does not occupy space.
if not knowing something, should not do it: nobody would never do anything, exist an hability: learning.

comment out, is place *#* symbol in those lines?

my english is bad, so my confusion.

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

It's really difficult to understand you, what is your native language?
Sure, we should learn from each other and without trying, it's hardly possible to learn! But you should't use this thread (formating is one of the most dangerous tasks for computers) for asking such questions, which have been answered if you have looked inside the file or searched somewhere else (even this forum). You can try out the MODs-Thread for getting an approach to the N900.

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

yes i know, i said before my english is bad, my native is spanish.
i try to place # symbol at those lines, and my N900 dont bricked xD is good xD

EDIT:
aff... continue with 2GB -_- ... why when i try to format MyDocs, it say *Contain filesystem*? i umount it and format, but this step not appear in tutorial.

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

I did the steps to reset the cel no mydocs I get home and now have 29gb

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

wow truste 29GB to /home lol

ear0wax thanks for your help, but i put it, and dont work for me, same result. :S

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

I don't remember anything similiar, but I've added it to the wiki anyway. As you're speaking of formatting, I assume you've already successfully moved /home and repartitioned using the sfdisk command?

You mean by "same result" you can't format MyDocs even after commenting out the piece of code? If so, you're not following the wiki as there are 5 steps between commenting that out and the actual formatting.


I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly. Could you post what step didn't work out?

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

-Mount SD: OK
-Umount MyDocs: OK
-Copy /home to SD: OK
-Comment out genfstab.awk [with "#"]: OK
-Modify rcS-late: OK
-Reboot: OK, constantly apear *error to open calendar*, and more application, no image in desktop.
-Repartition the flash: with your table 6gb /home -> Your Post: OK [but says *unknon command: sectors*]
-Reboot: OK
-Format new /home: OK
-Format new MyDocs: says *contain filesystem* and i umount and format it: OK
-Mount /hoe as mnt: OK
-Copy SD to new /home: OK
-uncomment genfstab.awk: OK
- Delete lines in rcS-late: OK
-Reboot: now run correctly, with image in desktop. but 2GB /home.

i have PR1.3 is this a problem? i need to reflash to PR1.2?

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

Could you post the output of "cat /proc/mounts | grep home" (without quotes)? Run that command in the terminal.

Unknown command.. Did you try to execute the table file? :rolleyes:
As you can read in the wiki, you should execute:
"sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < table" (without quotes)
to apply the partition table, 'executing' the table file itself won't do anything, hence your eMMC won't get repartitioned causing you /home to stay at 2gb (like you've said in your previous post).

No, I wrote this solution because I wanted to repartition after flashing PR 1.3 to my phone;)

Re: Repartition the internal drive
 

what i would like :

- keep the rootfs minimaly, as it is today

- all the big folders : /opt and /usr plus the /home/user (with all the config dirs); on the whole eMMC formatted in ext3 or even ext4

- and the pure data (cities, documents, images, videos, music ....) on a standardized folders on a FAT32 SD card (like Documents, Pictures, Videos, Sounds .... on all others OSes, no more .documents, .images.... and no more hassle with MyDocs un/mounting on mass storage...)

-and maybe part the emmc to put meego on it too (then no more speed pb with it), on a third partition in btfrs, able to read my data for the sd card too

thanks in advance for tips


PS : hum and is ti possible to modify the mass storage scripts to allow a desktop linux OS (ubuntu ?) to read the eMMC ?
