| Wikiwide | Tired. This microSD card (1GB) is playing tricks on me. | 20:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Wikiwide | It was just fine in my Nokia N900, but SailfishOS on my Fxtec Pro1 decided that this memory card consists of multiple partitions, and most of them need formatting. | 20:34 |
| Wikiwide | So now Nokia N900 seems to refuse mounting this thing at all, and Sailfishos seems to have no way of merging all these multiple partitions into one. | 20:35 |
| Wikiwide | I probably don't know command-line for that. | 20:35 |
| KotCzarny | simplest way, backup data, format from zero, copy back | 20:45 |
| Wikiwide | Format from zero, how? | 20:45 |
| Wikiwide | Already moved out data. | 20:45 |
| KotCzarny | dd </dev/zero >/dev/yoursdcard bs=1M count=1 | 20:46 |
| Wikiwide | In short, I am currently sending hundreds of MBs over WiFi with sftp. | 20:46 |
| KotCzarny | then proceed with any partitioning app | 20:46 |
| Wikiwide | Will try dd line, thank you! | 20:46 |
| Wikiwide | Do I need to umount beforehand? | 20:47 |
| KotCzarny | yes | 20:47 |
| KotCzarny | best to do it on pc without any automounter | 20:47 |
| KotCzarny | but n900 should allow nuking it too | 20:47 |
| KotCzarny | there is a chance fxtec found some data that looked like gpt partition | 20:48 |
| KotCzarny | or maybe has some weird 'new sdcard' routine | 20:48 |
| Wikiwide | Going offline | 22:22 |
