Somehow, now the M92 tells me that the internal memory amounts to 2.1 GB instead of 4 GB! (in the About screen).
This can be easily seen on my PC. MYBOOKS is the SDCard and boox is the internal flash.

Code:
stefanauss@barney:~$ mount
[...]
/dev/sdd on /media/MYBOOKS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks)
/dev/sdc on /media/boox type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks)

Code:
stefanauss@barney:~$ df -h
File system            Dim. Usati Disp. Uso% Montato su
[...]
/dev/sdd               15G  689M   15G   5% /media/MYBOOKS
/dev/sdc              2,0G   68M  2,0G   4% /media/boox
The other strange things is that in the about panel the amount of used space is completely wrong. It reports 1976/2043 MB used, but instead I have just about 68MB of books there.

Anyone experiencing the same. What can I try?

With my out-of-the-box firmware (201112<something>), that seemed to be very old, the internal flash was correctly recognized as 4GB in the about panel.
Followup: downgrading to 1.6 "improved" resulted in no change in Internal Storage size.
However, re-formatting the flash memory when running 1.6 fw restored the avaible size from 2043 to 3297 MB, which is what I had when i received my Onyx Boox M92.
So, it's very much likely there is a bug when formatting internal storage when running 1.7 20120326. Anyone already on that fw willing to try if that's the case?
