I have a C1000 and have recently purchased a 4gb Hitachi Microdrive (3.81 available)
I am using it in under Qtopia 1.5.4 as supplied by Figlabs. Initially I was able to see the drive in File Manager, and copy files to it but not save them directly from the Hancom applications (I checked it was 777) Then I changed the partition table to 2 x 1.91GB drives. When I put the CF card in the Zaurus, it mounted the first partition which worked wonderfully in Qtopia (including Hancom) but I could neither mount nor see the second partition. I am happy with having the drive split, but would appreciate help on how to recognise the second partition. Incidentally, I am also a victim of the 2GB SD limit, and I am thinking of partitioning this card to 1.9 + 0.1. so info on mounting the second partition of that would also be useful Bless you all, JB

Make sure you have the second partition in the fstab. Also make sure you have a mount point made in the /mnt folder. Basically just copy what the fstab has for the drive, I think it shows as /dev/hda1, so make a /dev/hda2, and make a directory in /mnt as /mnt/hda2. This is all off the top of my head, so I'm not 100% sure, but this should point you in the right direction.

I tried to do this,
basically the entries in /mnt are just links to files in /usr/mnt.rom, I cannot add a cf2 directory as it is telling me it is a read-only file system and it iwll not let me chmod help thanks |

Maybe remount root as read write? |
