If I remember correctly, you can disable Qtopia indexing by following one of these ways: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8#Known_Issues (see "QPE high cpu usage" subsection) and http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_/_Qt_Extended_on_FreeRunner#Tell_Qtopia_it_is_running_from_the_SD_Card ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [om2008-9] Never able to successfully backup the jffs2 partition...
Well I tried the NeoTool but it has its limitations. I was going to copy my current configuration to the uSD card as the backup. I tried the wiki page "Booting From SD" and was going to prepare the uSD card by partitioning it. I then saw that there is an entry: /dev/mmcblk0p1 49792048497872 0% /media/card when I do a "df". When I go to the mount point I found this file: qtopia_db.sqlite What the heck is this file doing there? >From what I understand, I must partition the uSD and then copy kernel & rootfs to the various partitions. Why would an app. have grabbed the uSD card? Cheers!!

There was an issue with u-boot failing to transfer correctly from phone to PC, usually when trying to back up the rootfs. I remember mention of a patch, but I can't confirm that it's now fixed as I've not tried it. > I usually go > and sacrifice a few chickens and make sure that it's a new moon before > I update a bootloader.

With the FR you don't need to worry too much as there is a failsafe u-boot in NOR in addition to the updateable one in NAND. The failsafe one can't be overwritten if you don't have a debug board, so you can always use it to flash a new bootloader to NAND. > Cheers!! > > On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 11:36 AM, "Marco Trevisan (Treviño)" > > wrote: > > john dowd wrote: > >> I've alway been able to backup the kernel partition of my Neo FR but > >> not the jffs2 partition.

Re: [om2008-9] Never able to successfully backup the jffs2 partition...
To be clear, you are saying that this is a u-boot issue? I usually go and sacrifice a few chickens and make sure that it's a new moon before I update a bootloader. Especially when I don't have a debug board or external way of updating flash. Cheers!!
