I had this problem with a Kingston 4GB card. There was a kernel patch a couple of weeks ago that seemed to solve this, although given the intermittent nature of the problem I may just have been unusually lucky. I've been using other cards since so can't give a longer term test report. It's in Andy's stable tree, but last I heard it was only in the unstable OM feed. I don't know which patch set Debian uses. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Debian size and uSD
I bought myself a 4Gb uSD card and decided to have a go at moving the (full) 512Mb partition onto it, using http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/wiki?Drive_Backup_And_Cloning as my reference. I backed up the 512Mb with no problem. The 4Gb card was not recognised, though; dmesg on the desktop produced: [ 2460.876027] usb 5-8: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 [ 2461.010393] sd 5:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery [ 2461.010444] sd 5:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device [ 2461.010462] sd 5:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device [ 2461.010471] sd 5:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device [ 2461.010477] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] READ CAPACITY failed [ 2461.010482] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [ 2461.010489] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense not available.

A consistency check with fdisk yielded that the size of the partition and the size of the filesystem do not match, and advised me to run e2fsck. e2fsck said there are no problems.

Re: Debian size and uSD
I usually do "cp -ax ..." with success. I've cloned entire operating systems like this in the past without problems. Haven't tried with OM yet, but it worked with a couple of Ubuntu installations. Takes a long time, though... ;) Obviously, you preferably do it with the filesystem offline... booting from somewhere else.

Anyone tried migrating from one SD to > another? You could use copy but tar tends to be a better alternative. Just tar up your rootfs and then extract to your new card. Under most *nix variants you need to extract using the 'p' parameter to preserve file permissions. Also make sure you are not mounted with the option 'nodev'. With a new u-boot it's also possible to consolidate the kernel and rootfs into one partition to ease kernel upgrades.

Debian size and uSD
After I installed Debian on my stock uSD, i realized that Debian is _BIG_. There are tons of libraries installed. I think a lighter Debian is possible, any ideas? Another thing is I bought a 2G uSD and I want to move my debian system to that card. If I manually partition it (8MB fat and rest ext2) and just copy contents of 512M, would it work? Or maybe i can copy an image using dd and then somehow resize the partition.
