Currently, my kindle partition has 247 mb used and 1.2gb free space.
There are three folders with more contents, they are
Document - 53mb
DK_system - 122mb
linkfonts - 67.5mb
Or is there a way to bypass making rootfs.img? As I now already have the rootfs.img file saved, what I need next is to backup my current system just in case.
Thanks to you for your help!
Sincerely,
maylin

I think the readme, under advanced or something talks about skipping backup. I can't remember if I left this feature in or not. If not, you can backup everything on your kindle to your PC and delete everything, then copy it back when you're done.

I see kindle disk on pc with around 4gb, but not 2gb. and it is the disk with documents, it's not rootfs. anyway I tried what README.txt said, dd it and reboot but no luck. what should I do to see the rootfs ? does anyone has kindle dx graphite rootfs backup to share ? thank you.

If you ran prepare-kindle before hand, you should have gotten a backup rootfs.img and a backup recovery package. If you didn't run it, you don't have my custom kernel and won't be able to access the recovery features.
