MyDocs + Optfs (ext3+vfat) all in one as Ext4.. 90% done help needed
2 Attachment(s)
Hi guys, hi community, i need your help to complete the right setup of my n900.. Yesterday i spent like 8 hours trying to convert the internal Partitions (vfat + ext3) in one Ext4.. Then i used gparted to delete ext3 filesistem and vfat also, i merged both in one Ext4 via backupmenu and gparted. I restored one backup, i did a good work but maybe i mad a mistake couse during the restore with backupmenu just one error appears, something like
"impossible to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1, file system is used..", the restore goes on and everything works as well.. when i bootup my phone, i just have one ext4 patition, yes! It's what i want to have, my phone it's too fast! But i have one problem.. MyDocs seems to be not recognized by the Ossofilemanager and camera, i mean.. I can see screenshots, but i cant format the memory and i cant save pictures or video.. I can manage folders etc, i think it's becouse it's not mounted as well, but i'm not able to understand where the problem is.. this is the /etc/fstab file Code:
# autogeneratedCode:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0this is the /etc/event.d/rcS-late file Code:
description "late rcS actions"this is the /usr/lib/genfstab.awk file Code:
#!/usr/bin/awkI used the wiki "changing the emmc file system" but i cant go on as i say, impossible mount-umount /MyDocs, impossible save pictures using the camera, it says full memory and impossible to manage it with ossofilemanager to format the memory.. I believe in you community, don'leave :D i want to get full ext4 to my internal mmc Some screenshots |

Probably way to late, but it's all there:

About the cam:
Camera needs a VFat partition. AFAIK you'd need to make sure to have at least one partition in VFat that the camera app has access to. You could use an SD card and save them there. Apparently someone thought it would be smart to hardcode the filesystem into the app. http://test.maemo.org/testzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7160 |
Re: MyDocs + Optfs (ext3+vfat) all in one as Ext4.. 90% done help needed
There is an open source replacement for the camera-ui (which is now included in the testing version of the CSSU), perhaps this can be fixed in that (if it hasn't already).
If you read through all the comments in that bug report kindly linked to by anthonie, there may be a solution there, but hard to tell if it will work since you have a single partition for home and MyDocs not simply a separate ext formatted partition for MyDocs. I did find this gem from someone who appeared to be the Nokian assigned to this bug Quote:

For the camera, have a look here:
http://test.maemo.org/testzilla/show...gi?id=7160#c36 VFAT is not hard-coded. Camera-UI (or rather, omap3camd) tries to create DCIM folder if it doesn't already exist, but it gives it root:root owner:group. For VFAT it's no problem, but with ext[2-4] it means that user cannot write to the DCIM directory. # chown -R user:users DCIM; chmod -R 664 DCIM should fix that. (I haven't tried that though) |

Oops, I kept the thread open without refreshing for too long.
Thanks @retsaw! |

You may also wish to consider that this totally buggers up backup menu.

Yeah, it may well bugger backup menu, but that isn't the be-all and end-all of backup solutions. For all its faults N900 is still basically a pocket linux computer. You can use something like rsnapshot (which uses rsync) for your backups, which can quickly and economically (with respect to disk usage) make daily (or even hourly if you like) backups to another (preferably Linux, though you should be able to get it working with Windows as well) computer over wifi.

Is this project completely done?

Re: MyDocs + Optfs (ext3+vfat) all in one as Ext4.. 90% done help needed
I am curious... are you still able to mount your sdcard?
I thought I recall some scripts rely on count & order of partiton found in eMMC & SDcard. If sdcard cant be mounted, then there is no way for that n900 to function as USB/thumb drive too. Btw, the latest CSSU updates dont use genfstab.awk anymore. Sorry, but it'd take up quite a bit of time to run thru each line of change u posted. kh |
