I tried to restore a NAND backup using a 1 GB Transcend card, and it would'nt work. Apparently, the NAND restore recognize the CF card, but the NAND restore does not find the NAND file on the compactflash (CF) card.
I tried with the NAND file as the only file on the CF, it did not work. I finally found a way around : - CF card freshly formated (using mkfs.vfat -v /dev/hda1 on the zaurus). - copy the NAND backup file on the CF (first and only file copied on the CF). - do the NAND restore. and it works... Does anyone has an explaination for the need for the fresh format + first file copied sequence for the NAND restore to work ? |

The NAND restore / backup is "picky" at best. Formatting the card as FAT16 beforehand helps to ensure success...
Just one of those quirks I guess.. |
