help mounting microSD partitioning
 
partitioning my sdCard giving me error like this

Quote:
root
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1p1 << EOF
,2100,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
ERROR

Quote:
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now...
BLKRRPART: Invalid argument
OK
Warning: start=16 - this looks like a partition rather than the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless.
[Use the ==force option if you really want this]
i dont know what is the force option to do that? any idea?

and again
Quote:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 -n sdcard
mke2fs -j -m0 -L Android /dev/mmcblk1p2
ERROR

Quote:
Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it corectly?

please advice me about my problem please.....

Re: help mounting microSD partitioning
 
Use "sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF"
instead of "sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1p1 << EOF"

Re: help mounting microSD partitioning
 
i successfully use your code like this

Quote:
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
but after that i tried to enter this code but it gives me error

Quote:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
it gives me error that " Invalid Argument "

after i use your code sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF my N900 say

Quote:
Memory Card Format Unsupported
but i know this Unsupported is due to i format the memory card to other format.. now i want to know how will i do after i use your CODE

then i want to insert this code

Quote:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 -n sdcard
mke2fs -j -m0 -L Android /dev/mmcblk1p2
but in the line of "umount /dev/mmcblk1p1" it gives me error Invalid Argument..

any idea?

I'm not much into this, but:

You change the device name on the sfdisk command. Shouldn't you be changing it on the other commands as well?

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

Whats the output with:
sfdisk -l

It will give you a list of devices with names starting with "mm"

There needs to be an item listed "mmcblk1p1" for the umount to work. If there is none u don't need to unmount it.

btw: did you type in the other lines before EOF as well?

Code:
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
all lines are needed as the EOF actually ends the command.

Re: help mounting microSD partitioning
 
yes.. mates..

after i type this code
Quote:
ls /dev/mm*
it gives me a list of " mm "

that comes to

/dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p2
/dev/mmcblk0p3
/dev/mmcblk1
/dev/mmcblk1p1
/dev/mmcblk1p2

so what should i do after i see this commands?

Quote:

so the "mmcblk1p1" should be work because i see the command of that on the list?


and yes...
i do followed correct the code like this
Quote:
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF

/dev/mmcblk1
/dev/mmcblk1p1
/dev/mmcblk1p2

so what should i do after i see this commands?[...]
to see which of those "devices" are mounted and thus actually available to the user, post the output of the following command
Code:
mount | grep mmc

maemo-coldhearted 2011-08-30 06:16
Re: help mounting microSD partitioning
 
how can i know if one of that devices are mounted?

after i use your code


"mount | grep mmc"

Amboss 2011-08-30 08:41
Re: help mounting microSD partitioning
 
The command shows only the items which are mounted. If /dev/mmcblk1p1
or /dev/mmcblk1p2 are listed they are mounted.

maemo-coldhearted 2011-08-30 09:20
Re: help mounting microSD partitioning
 
so if i type this command

Quote:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
and if says invalid argument and then i try to type this command

Quote:
mount | grep mmc
but i didnt see a "mmcblk1p1" to umount so i dont need to umount it right?

so i just go to the next command right?

then if i use this command

Quote:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 -n sdcard
mke2fs -j -m0 -L Android /dev/mmcblk1p2

cd /
mkdir /and
but in the command of "mkdir /and" it says file exist so i dont need to mkdir /and its because exist already? so i just go to the next command? is it right?


please advice mates...
