Title: Nevermind...
Post by: tombraider on January 12, 2006, 09:13:01 am
Nevermind...I copied the CF card files to my pc and then got confused and deleted files from the cf card instead of the file and put the flash files in my pc folder.

I know,  dumb and dumber.

Successfully partitioned with 32.  Now I am doing a restore of the last NAND backup I did of the Cacko 1.23 ROM.

Will the NAND restore with "incorrect" partitioning trash the new partitioning I just did?  Or am I good to go?  (Should have asked this before I went through all this.)

Thanks in advance.

A Nand restore will restore your partition as well

what you need to do is to run the backuprestore app in cacko, repartition and flash, then restore the backup file from the backuprestore app

Meanie,

Thanks for your response.

So I didn't know the NAND restore would obliterate the good work I did making the partition 32 MB's!  It seemed like a good idea at the time.   I had a good restore from just before the flash too.  :-)

I think I should leave well enough alone at this point.     Everything is working.  I'll go through the process correctly if something breaks and I have to reflash OR if Anton releases an update which I want to install.

BTW,  what is this "temporary memory"?  Whatever it is,  I always have almost the full amount  of it available - around 10 MB's.

temporary memory or /tmp is simply some memory allocated to allow the Z to store files temporarily. whenever you open a file or are updating it, the content may get stored in tmp until you hit save at which time your file is updated. tmp files are deleted when the Z is rebooted. some programs when they crash leave a lot of files in tmp. on the sharp rom, there is only 1MB of tmp so some programs have problems opening large documents.
