    Default Which Linux filesystem types supported?

    What are the linux filesystems supported by E6 generic firmware? I wanted to format my memory card with a linux filesystem like ext2. Also is it possible to have multiple partitions in the memory card? i have a 2GB memory card. Can i have 2 partitions one with FAT and another with ext2 or whichever is supported by the firmware? Mine is a generic 10p firmware without any mods

    >Two options... sfdisk (hard) or cfdisk (easy)<

    cfdisk doesn't look to well in the default terminal... but if you have decent eyesight you can go into the properties on the terminal and shrink the font size to 10-12 and it works great.

    Assuming /dev/mmcblk0 is the device:

    Code:

    Code:
    cfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
    Once you made your two partitions:

    Code:

    Code:
    mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1
    mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p2
    You can get cfdisk from here:

    Thanks for your reply.. I actually wanted to know if i make 2 partitions on my memory card, will the OS recogonize it or will it display me only the first partition in the file manager? Because the OS mounts our mem card in /mmc/mmca1. If i have 2 partitions, will the second partition also get mounted? if so, where will it get mounted?

    Also, i wanted to know which filesystem types are supported.. I am not sure which filesystem driver modules are built inside the firmware by default.

    Thanks for the link. The link had good info on how to mount multiple partitions. But there is no info on supported filesystems. Where can i find info regarding which filesystems are supported by default 10p firmware?
