How to format MMC memory in ext2 and use it with Nokia 770

Following this post of Krischan Keitsch

1 .- Add this line to /etc/init.d/minircS (for example after the umask and path lines):

insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.16.27-omap1/ext2.ko

2 .- Change on /usr/sbin/mmc-mount the mount line for this one:

mount -t ext2 -o rw "$1" "$2" > /dev/null

3 .- From a *nix box format the MMC:

# -c checks badblock, -m 1 reserves only 1% of block to root

mkfs.ext2 -c -m 1 /dev/sdx1

# disable autocheck on this file system

tune2fs -i 0 /dev/sdx1

4 .- From the Nokia 770 add perms to the user:

chown user:users /media/mmc1

Enjoy a non-crap file system on your Nokia :)
