Can't Cd To Folder On Sd-card With Ext2 On Oz3.5.3
« on: May 29, 2005, 05:13:49 pm »
Formatted 512MB sd card with ext2 and installed oz/opie 3.5.3 from it. Works like a charm
Mounting the card also works fine.
However, cd to any subdirectory gives an i/o-error.
In addition I can't find mkfs.ext2. Doesn't it come standard with the filesystem package?

Any idea what is going on?

Are you talking about a flash image? If so, I presume you did this before formatting it as ext2?

I formatted the SD card as ext2 on linux and copied the updater.sh, zImage.bin and initrd.bin onto the card. Then installed OZ/Opie from the card. All this worked like a charm.

fsck.ext2 isn't there. My linux box reads the card fine so I don't think its a corrupted filesystem.
Just reflashed the C860 with cacko rom, and now it can cd to any subdirectory.
Must the card be formatted as ext2 on OZ, or should it recognize ext2 from a linux box?
