When I tried whether the Kobo would support an ext2 partition I did the same, copying the contents from my fat32 card to the newly formatted ext2, and the Kobo restarted properly, detecting some files that were not seen on the fat32 (?)
As for the contents of the Kobo, I already did the same with a previous save once when it seemed definitely frozen, and this worked also. Of course, the firmware and the Kobo system cannot be copied nor restored this way.

Not really that much trouble just takes a long time to do the dd. But it ensures I get a perfect copy of the OS and Backup OS partitions from the internal 2GB card.
I have to say since the upgrade I am now 100% happy with this device.
It seems like a lot of work as been done to take customers considerations into account. I am impressed.
