For some obscure reason you can find the need to partition an SD card. Here are 3 reasons (ordered by “geekiness”):
- perhaps you need a partition to hold windows files and another to keep you linux files (if that makes any sense)
- if you have a 4GB card with personality issues which thinks it has 32GB capacity (don’t ask)
- you can, so you do it
Here’s a link that teaches you how to do it:

Basically you can choose from two scenarios:
- do it in Windows and pay some cash for a program like Arconis Disk Director
- do it in Ubuntu for free using only the operating system (and in case you’re wondering, it’s easy)
I know my fellow blogger Mário Romano is going to be pissed off by this post but in the other hand, his “archenemy” Mr. M, will be quite happy about it. Always fun to watch them fight about Windows vs. Ubuntu.
