Prohibit automatic HDD-expansion

Greetings.

I'm very found of my new Acer One, however I really want to keep track of my files by myself.

I got my 8gb SD-card in the expansion slot on my laptop, and I want to keep it there (using the other one with my camera, to downlad the images), but I don't want Linpus to "expand" my disk. I just want this card reader to be a standard card reader, nothing more, nothing less. I want to be able to select what should be on the card, and what should be on the disk.. which Linpus fails to do.

I hope you get my point, eh? Is there a on/off switch for this feature (where?), or do I need to do some awesome terminal workaround? I'm no pro at linux, as you might understand, but I can follow instructions and I do understand some jargon. I got access to the packet-manager etc, if there's some application that can fix this for me.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi cybesystem

Though you refer to the HDD version the file structure of the SSD version may be of some use. I do not have an HDD version to know if they are the same.

Linpus creates a separate directory for the SD when it is mounted. It does not expand the SSD directory even though the sales literature implies it does. It creates a merged (virtual directory) that combines the data contents of the SSD and SD. It is a bit like SSD being C: drive and SD being D: drive but Linpus creates an F: drive (/home/My disk) that contains data from both C and D.

See my post ( page 4 ) for an explanation of the directories in the following link;

The file structure allows you to write/copy/paste data where you want.
