I have a 8GB SD in external slot of my N800. Navicore map somehow hard-coded /media/mmc2/maps to store its maps and POI data. But I only have about 5MB space in mmc2. So I wan to create a map directory in mmc1 and ln it to mmc2. So I tried to following

/media/mmc2:#ln -s /media/mmc1/maps maps

and I got

ln: ./maps: Operation not permitted

Is this because of both /media/mmc1 and mmc2 are FAT FS? If I can't do this, any one knows how I can let Navicore to store map in /media/mmc1?

found out how to let navicore to recognize mmc1 from here

But still don't know why I can't make ln in mmc1/mmc2.

ln does not move the files but creates a link to the original location.
However FAT filesystem does not support softlinking, which is why you get the error message.

Use mv if you want to move the files to mmc.
