Because MyDocs partition is what gets mounted when you plug your N900 into a computer, and the typical filesystem for USB-attached storage is FAT32. For example, if you buy a USB hard drive or MicroSD card it will almost always come formatted as FAT32... Good news is that with N900 you are free to repartition that as you like, see the wiki for more info: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash Have fun :) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
