Hi, I had the same problem a little time ago.
Format usssing the dd command like you know.
if running a debian linux distro (eg. ubuntu) run:
sudo apt-get install jfstools gparted
Then open GParted (the graphical program), select the usb card
(/dev/mmcblock0 or /dev/sdc for example. Then select the JFS
partition, right click unmount, and finally right click resize.
That should be all.
Cheers!
