A - ke-recv does the automount for the external SDHC card?
B - Are there any options/a config file for it where I can specify mount options for a given file type?

I've formatted an SDHC card with ext2 and it's automounted with no additional options (e.g. noatime, etc).

I'm using an N800 with up-to-date OS2008 build.

Thanks

Look at the file

/usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh

This file calls /usr/sbin/mmc-mount which only mounts vfat partitions with some options. If this fails, then osso-mmc-mount.sh tries ext2 and ext3 without options. You can either add ext2 support to mmc-mount or add the options directly in the mount command in osso-mmc-mount.sh.

Thanks for that response - since posting I'd googled up the ke-recv sources & got to the same answer. Good to have my conclusions confirmed!

I'll just add similar, ext2 applicable, options to the ext2 mount invocation. Pity the originator didn't do that but I guess it's much less likely that a typical user will reformat/mkfs an SDHC card from VFAT to ext2.

I think ext2's preferable to ext3 for flash, no need for journalling or the extra write cycles implicit in it.
