Also check that the partition size isn't larger than the device memory (Nokia shipped devices with this broken configuration). You can notice this if you've got a Linux box: when you plug in the N810, run dmesg and look for sdb: p1 exceeds device capacity or attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, want=4013848, limit=3932160 See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2940 On the other hand, my internal 2 GB crashed and *lost all my data* even after I fixed the "p1 exceeds device capacity" error after reformatting. Reproducibly: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2802 I completely lost trust in the N810s internal memory and no longer keep important data on it. Nokia, of course, is silent on the issue. Grr!
