WikiwideTired. This microSD card (1GB) is playing tricks on me.20:34
WikiwideIt was just fine in my Nokia N900, but SailfishOS on my Fxtec Pro1 decided that this memory card consists of multiple partitions, and most of them need formatting.20:34
WikiwideSo now Nokia N900 seems to refuse mounting this thing at all, and Sailfishos seems to have no way of merging all these multiple partitions into one.20:35
WikiwideI probably don't know command-line for that.20:35
KotCzarnysimplest way, backup data, format from zero, copy back20:45
WikiwideFormat from zero, how?20:45
WikiwideAlready moved out data.20:45
KotCzarnydd </dev/zero >/dev/yoursdcard bs=1M count=120:46
WikiwideIn short, I am currently sending hundreds of MBs over WiFi with sftp.20:46
KotCzarnythen proceed with any partitioning app20:46
WikiwideWill try dd line, thank you!20:46
WikiwideDo I need to umount beforehand?20:47
KotCzarnyyes20:47
KotCzarnybest to do it on pc without any automounter20:47
KotCzarnybut n900 should allow nuking it too20:47
KotCzarnythere is a chance fxtec found some data that looked like gpt partition20:48
KotCzarnyor maybe has some weird 'new sdcard' routine20:48
WikiwideGoing offline22:22
