Devs,
Please move this thread to the right location if this isnt one, i looked everywhere but couldnt find anything about it. I was wondering if there is any way to mount iso files on my N1.

Mount them where? And for what purpose? There are ways to mount image files(loopback), though I'm not sure about the format that can be used. At any rate, it'd require modification to the OS.
Forexample if i copy an iso file on my SDcard and then mount it like you can do on windows with DeamonTools or on ubuntu http://hacktivision.com/index.php/2008/02/24/how-to-mount-iso-images-in-ubuntu-the-ea?blog=2
I was just wondering if it is something that can be done, sky is the limit with Android aint it?

I'd imagine it's possible with a rooted phone that has the appropriate kernel modules loaded. It's not exactly built in though, so aside from having the kernel modules ready, you'd have to manually mount it through the shell to some folder somewhere, and even then you'd only be able to access it through a shell or one of the file managers. At any rate, it doesn't seem too useful since there's no software for Android that requires any kind of disk(that I know of) and you'd have to have the image file on the sd card, which is already readable by the OS. So anything that could possibly be on the iso could just as easily be put on the sd card.

Yes, it requires recompiling the kernel to support the correct filesystem. I did it the other day with a debian install disk. It's not too hard.
You will need a kernel that support cdfs,
mount -o loop /sdcard/name.ISO /path/to/mountpoint

Wallpaper set and save, I tried the rm command it wont work for a stale file is there any way to do this.
unless you really mounted a network drive, there's no way you can get a "stale NFS file", so the file system is corrupted.

So I have wallpaper set and save as being stale, does that mean more files will become like this, and that my ext2 partition is bound to fail, cause I can live without that wallpaper program, as long as the rest of my stuff is stable. Does this mean more files will eventually become corrupt.

Not necessarily. nfs stale file handle just means that nfs cannot resolve the nfs file handle that ext2 encoded for it. there could be many reason for it. lots of time, remount would fix the problem.

I'm trying to install the program wallpaper set and save but the phone won't let me cause its a stale nfs file on my memory card ext2 partition, and I wanted to know if there is any way to fix that
Rebooting the phone does not solve it? If not then u might have an issue with your sdcard.
No reboot didn't help, this is the only app that does this so I don't think its the sdcard. I think it was a bad installation, and now its stuck somehow, oh well hopefully someone might find a resolution for this.
I was wondering would it be possible to move my apps back to the phone, and then delete the wallpaper set and save from a program like linda file manager then put them back on the sd card.

do you have adb setup?
just do "adb shell ls /data/app/" and see if that wallpaper app is there... if it is try to remove it "adb shell rm /data/app/<name.apk>

nope that didnt work, will it be possible to move them back to the phone, I used recovery mode to put them on my sdcard, and Im on RC33mod, can I do the undo copy.sh app or do I have to use recovery again.
I dont know about the copy.sh script, but u can do it by removing the symlink in /data/app
And then copy the app dir from sd back to /data

Sorry Im not to savy with all this, How would I go about doing that.
so there is no other way of me getting rid of wallpaper set save stale nfs, and reinstalling it, cause I cant get it on my phone. thats the only program and I like using to set my wallpapers is there another way.
you could always mount it in linux and run fdisk. delete that partition and remake it. that is what I had to do to clean up my /system/sd directory from stale NFS handles. If you need more help with this let me know.
Ok thought might as well start this off myself seen as people keep talking about it, lets have a Q&A thread instead of bashing up the original thread so it can be used just for news and updates.
Does Android work on my HD2?
yes and no, at the moment it boots, no touch-screen driver so that's it so if you try this is what you get
microang has made up some pretty nice versions that dont blue screen check them out here

Can I flash Android?
NO NO NO, it will run from Haret, it will not be a ROM, (yet maybe one day)
Can I boot Ubuntu?
yes you can, but touch-screen issues again,
UPDATE there now is a TS image to use
you would be better off using a mouse and keyboard via a powered usb hub.

What I found was that the ubuntu folder must be inside another folder which is on sd root. So tree wise its setup as...
1) SD root
2) Folder (containing the ext2 and the ubuntu folder which contains the haret files)
If you do it like you did, it hangs, I had the same problem. If you do it the way I explained, it gets to the actual linux kernel (tux) but kp's when the modules are to be loaded.

That's the first of it, but go grab artn3r's pre packed ubuntu from the official Android/Linux thread a few posts after the one you quoted I think, and set it up folder wise as...
1) SD root
2) "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225" (containing the ext2 and THEN the ubuntu folder which contains the haret files)
That's what I did to make it work but as stated in the official thread, it hangs at the module loader
the name doesn`t matter?

Ok, SOME progress. Mine HALF succeeded in rebooting after deleting then recopying the files over (making changes of course). It got past the rebooting in 5 seconds hang and now has actually made an attempt to restart. (yay!) But all I got was it declaring it was about to reboot and the Kernel version number. i.e. 2.6.32.9

no it doesn`t matter where the files are or in which folder or how it is called.
tried this:
1) haret, ubuntu folder and co in the root of the sd card
2) new folder called "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225" with alle the files and ubuntu folder in there
3) renamed the folder "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225" to anything else
does not matter...the result is all the same.

Interesting, mine gets none of that. In fact, the loadmodule shell extension is the only think stopping mine from progressing. Oh and umm. It also attempts to switch to rootfs.

No other partitions, hmmm. But in case this helps, its still got winmo stuff on it, so not formatted to ext2. Doubt that'd make a difference though as the SD's format shouldn't effect the format of the ubuntu image.

I am wanting to change and get my own build working... based on enomther for the Nexus One.
Currently I do not have dual boot setup (had to format pc). Is there anyway I can just edit a current system.ext2 file that I already have in windows or would I need to generate a new one in a linux based system.
Basically I want to know if I can take an update.zip file for the N1 and replace everything in the system.ext2 file with everything in the update.zip file.
Pretty sure you need linux to mod the ext2
have you tried using a VM to install linux into?

Suggested solution
I've managed to mount system.ext2 to Windows 7. Without VM and Linux at all.
What tools are needed:
1. Windows Ext2/Ext3 driver. You can get it from here.
2. Any software to mount image to virtual drive. I've used Gizmo Drive, but there are others also working.
Tip: Gizmo doesn't show ext2 as supportable image type, when you browse for image. So, manually type *.* filter.
Just download a disc image from here...

Burn it to a CD and boot from that. No need for dual boot.

I was looking to do the same thing, being able to edit the image without affecting or booting the ROM. If I figure out a way, I'll tell you. I'm currently looking into it.
*edit* I think it might be possible with a Linux distribution to mount the .img file and modify it. I found a thread that talks about resizing... Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3643103&postcount=4824
I suggest you read up on mount options in Linux with the help of a live CD... I don't really have time to play with this as I'm at work.

You can download Virtual Clone Drive free from Slysoft and mount 'data.img' as a CD-ROM and read/copy from it.

You may have to install the filesystem drivers for ext2 from http://www.fs-driver.org/. But I have no ideaa if they are compatible with loop mounting in virtual clone drive. Obviously Linux OS's support ext2 out of the box.

You beat my ext4 fix to the punch. But I like the way you packaged this up.
Just an explanation for what I believe chenglu is doing here -
His kernel enables loop devices, although I think they may be enabled by default too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device).
Then the modified inandop.sh script gets run at the end of init.rc, and that script is creating a file in the data area and mounting it as a loopback device.
He is then moving the stuff from data/data, data/anr and data/app-private directories and copying over the actual contents of those directories into the newly mounted directories on the loopback device.
I am not certain why the loopback device would be so much faster than the standard filesystem access, since it's still on the same device - I think it just has to do with some of the parameters he's passing to mount it? Or simply because it's plain ext2 rather than ext3 - i.e. no journalling.
Not to knock this impressive work (it's impressive because it's deceptively simple but seems to yield - at least in benchmarking - a significant improvement), but I'm not sure about the long term data integrity side of this - is the ext2 loopback device more prone to corruption? And we seem to already have more than enough data integrity issues with our ext3 /data partitions as it is.
Also, do you know how much of the gain is just attributable to the change in how you are mounting the data partition itself (noatime, nodiratime parameters obviously speed things up too, I'd already added that to my init.rc for the plain ext3 mount of the /data partition - I see you did that too in here).
I'm going to test this for TnT Lite today - I might add it to a 3.1.5 supplement, if it seems stable.
One concern is that it replaces busybox, which might break Titanium Backup. Anyone running might want to check if TB is still working, afterwards.
EDIT: Give me 30 minutes and I'll have something generic that should work on VEGAn and TnT Lite 3.x (they share the same busybox setup). And it will an update.zip.
