bigger SD card, smaller partitions: shown in gparted with USB conn. - no telnet?
Some Kobo readers come with a bigger internal SD card. Apparently the manufacturer was low on 2 GB cards and used 4 GB, but the image for 2 GB. Taking out such a card and resizing it results in bigger storage without opening.
Question: If a reader has 2 GB memory available but a 4 GB card, is this card shown as a 4 GB card in gparted, when the whole reader is connected via USB cable? If this is true, connection via telnet would be unnecessary. I know there are techniques to hide this - its called media connection, or something. |

No it is not. And it's not about media connection (you're probably referring to MTP). The document partition is exported as if it were a disk of its own - just as simple as this.
