Could be fixed... two suggestions. 1. erase the filesystem name of the cards, this makes the tablets call them internal/external memory card by default. 2. give them recognicable names so that you can tell one from the other. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Hi Mark, list, Mark wrote: Yeah, it's not at all obvious, and in fact it's counter-intuitive: the external slot is mmc1 and the internal is mmc2. (So in your case Kingson is probably the external card and Kingston (2) is probably the internal card.) I solved the problem by changing the volume labels, but the built-in file manager doesn't have that capability. I used a USB reader and labeled my cards with my desktop machine. I labeled mine 8gbinternal and 8gbexternal and made sure I put them in the respective slots. snip This is great information - and I'm wondering what's the best way to ensure that future people with this type of question find it - is the search feature on maemo.org which includes mailing list posts (I believe) sufficient, or do you think that it would be useful to extract answers like this (and Tuuka's follow-up) into a wiki page to make the information more easily accessible?

So I ask -- which is which? Is there some way of marking the cards electronically? It seems to give different messages trot the Kingston and Nokia cards, so there must be some kind of label. Or is there a way Select the card in the file manager's left pane; menu - file - rename. ...of course you'll have to find out which one is which for that ;) If the volume label is empty, you get the Internal/External Card strings.
