Using Ubuntu 11.04 ARM or x86_64, I cannot create an ext4 partition that will mount. Doing fsck.ext4 appears to fix the filesystem, but rerunning fsck.ext4 a second time gives the same errors. Only BTRFS works. A BTRFS partition can be created without a problem. I then use rsync to copy across all the data from the 16GB (ext4) partition and it mounts without errors. After the rsync I create the excluded directories proc, sys, tmp, media. I get a kernel oops (2.6.39-x1) on boot up of the 32GB card. I'm still trying to figure why I'm getting the oops that I don't have on the original 16GB card. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
