Promblems with memory card

Hi!

I have a 1 GB memory card in my N770, but it seems to be experiencing
some file system problems recently. I can no longer write to it (and not
delete files) but read works ok. When I try to format it (File manager -
Memory card - Format) it says "Memory card in use" and refuese. I have
stopped the canola-conf from updating, but it does not help.

I can access as root in terminal or via ssh - sudo gainroot from another
computer. And via USB to the card - but can I format it through usb?

Any help warmly appreciated.

Hello Magnus,

one reason for the message "Memory card inklusive use" could be that you use the virtuell memory. By deactivate the virtuell memory it should be possible to format the card

Does that card work properly with other devices, such as a camera or
another computer?

You didn't say what fs is on it. Anyway, you should go as root and umount
it. Then, just use command line options. You could even repartition it.

There should not be difference. Choose fs and use appropriate mk.
