 Tried that. No change.

You could try

blockdev --getsz /dev/mmcblk0p1
blockdev --getsz /dev/mmcblk0p2

to check that kernel really see the partition sizes right.

 Appears there is no blockdev command.

Ok, can't think of anything else then. You might consider filing a bug
against your distro to provide blockdev.

I probably will just take out the sd card, grab a gparted live cd and try to 
partition it at work. But I am surprised no one else has had this issue trying 
to partition/format on the freerunner itself.

Re: [2008.12] sim card problems

2009-04-18 Thread Andrew Stone

I had the same problem with qTopia -- the best I can say is try a different 
distro...that fixed it for me...I just didn't have the patience to look for a 
solution.


i've had some intermittent problems with text-messaging on my fr,
using the qtopia messaging app. at some points, if i try to delete a
message, i get the following error:

'SIM card is not ready, are you sure you want to delete this message?'

i can't remember the exact text, but it's something close to that.

what's happening here, i.e. why is the sim card not 'ready' (whatever
that means), and what will happen if i do delete the text?

sometimes it's fixed with a reboot, sometimes not

Re: Wrong size reported on SD Card

2009-04-18 Thread Stefan Monnier
 After formatting the 2 new partitions, 1st 6GB vfat, 2nd 1.xGB ext3, I 
 restart the phone so things will mount accordingly (still in QT, mind you). 
 When I ssh in now, it shows a vfat partition mounted in /media/card that is 
 only 1gb. No sign of the ext3 partition.

 What am I doing wrong?

My guess is that the filesystems were not created properly (probably
because the partition-reread failed for some reason).  Now that you've
rebooted and that the two partitions have been properly read, try to
re-create the filesystems (i.e. re-run the mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext3
commands).

I just gave that another try to be sure. Same result. The ext3 partition looks 
fine. The vfat partition is only 1022m reported by df instead of ~6GB. Fdisk 
always shows the correct info.
