Hi All,

I've got the emulator running.

I'm stunned that the the default block device is so small! Its only 256 MiB and already 45% full is it possible to somehow create a larger virtual SD card and use that instead? If that is possible, how do I do that?

What I also noticed is that the SD card that is mounted on first boot in the emulator is an ext2 file system. Does that mean that native linux filesystems are availble for the SD card on a physical DR800 device? Obviously the vfat filesystem is the lowest common denominator, and that it is the one, most computer users are familiar with. So, using vfat makes sense from a consumer's point of view. For me using ext or ext3 or jfs makes more sense. Is this possible?

Regards Bran
