What a strange subject title, eh?
Anywayz, just got my Pocket Edge Xmas Eve, but I've been perusing these forums for over a week in order to learn as much as I could before it's arrival. So I have some questions about vfat.img, which I understand provides the internal storage for one's data...and which is no longer used, once you switch storage to an external micro SD card (which I did, it's 8G).
So I'm crawling around the system's folders, to discover vfat.img located in two places: one, under folder "fridge"; and the other, under "intstorage". Besides finding "fridge" a rather fun name for a folder, I'm assuming there is only one vfat.img, because they're both 2.5G in size, and were they two files, that would be 1G larger than the internal storage's capacity! (Assuming it's 4G.)
Seems rather wasteful that there is no way at this time, to regain the use of that 2.5G, for additional storage. Will this be possible in some future upgrade? Coming from the old school of PC (when memory was scarce and expensive), I find it barely tolerable to have to toss out a whopping 2.5 gigabytes, just for the sake of utilizing an SD card!
Has anyone technically inclined, looked into the nature of vfat.img, and actually deleted it from the system? I understand one can "root" the device, and I am a longterm Linux advocate (though not a coder), but it's too soon for me to take that leap right now...not when I'm just learning about apps, Android and eInk. (I've never owned a cell phone, don't want one...so this is my first hands-on with apps.)
So, if anyone finds discussing vfat.img issues a fun topic, you might care to chime in before seeking psychiatric help. But if no one else really is interested, I'll understand.
In fact, I understand already! Happy holidays and New Year to everyone else here who's "livin' on the Edge".
