rscasas,
The following thread provides complete information on how to clone your partition, may I suggest that you at least read the first page of that thread as you may find it answers most, if not all of your questions.
Additionally, you may get a better response to your queries if you use that thread as it is regularly read and responded in.
Good Luck!

If that is too complex, and you prefer an even easier way to do it, one of the well-respected members of this great community has completely automated the process. You can find information on this at:

There are three major threads on cloning.
Ranging from simple to very complex.
The more complex one gets the more options one has.
The simplest will clone your system (and ASSumiing you have an N800) will use your entire SD card. It's almost a waste of any SD card greater then 2Gb.
Search for :cloning OR clone in the title.

I suppose haven't explain the matter well.I don't want to clone my OS2008 in my n800 flash memory, because is the OS just installed (the first I did was clone to the small SD card). I want to clone the ext2 partition on my small SD card (where is my OS2008 full of programs and custom configured) to another biggest card.
Something like partitioning big SD and then backup all the data from small SD to big SD . Or do a "ghost" image of the ext2 partition and then recover in the big SD. I know how to do that in Windows and FAT partitions but no idea in linux and ext2 partitions.

They have 30 days free trial. I used it once and i like it.

How did you clone it the first time?
if you did it manually, do it the same way, but copy from ext2 instead of flash.
just mount both sd cards,
or make tarball and untar ?

Do it ONLY ONLY if you know what you are doing. Of course PB knows what he is doing
. If you do not pay attention to the path, the untar will untar at the same/original directory when the tarball was made and made A BIG MESS. Sure, I learned from very painful experience. You have been warnedbun

Boot from internal, mount them both, and use cp -a...
But tar and untar is good, because it gives you the tar as a pleasing side effect -- a backup.
