2006-03-16 18:38 - Mounting ext2 on a Nokia 770
I've been struggling a bit trying to get the supplemental 64 MB MMC card to work with an ext2 filesystem. I'm talking about the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. It's a nice gyzmo, running Linux and equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth.
I wanted to format the MMC card with a proper filesystem, so I chose ext2. Unfortunately, when mounting it I got the following error message:
Mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/mmc1 failed: Invalid argument
The solution: forget about partitioning. I formatted /dev/mmcblk0 with the ext2 filesystem and mounted it, and all of a sudden it worked! That even means a couple of bytes extra space :)
