When kernel notices the errors, it re-mounts the card as read-only, but still allows processes to read it. Many applications aren't well prepared for file systems that may produce garbage though.

I think there were some changes in OS2008 about card recognization. Knowing the exact models of the cards is necessary. Is e.g. the 128Mb card the one coming with the device or something else? - Eero _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
