My N900 setup

Reparitioning

THIS CAN MAKE IT A BRICK SO BE PREPARED TO RESTORE FROM FLASHER OR ANY OTHER WAY YOU CAN THINK OF

What I did to get a 50/50 sharing of memory and /dev/mmcblk0p2 still be ext3. Be extra careful because I've never made it to get it done with one shot.

1. do full backup on desktop computer with rsync. For an example see User:Jebba/Backups
2. flash eMMC
3. flash device
4. install rootsh

 cp -a MyDocs/ /media/mmc1/tmp
 root
 umount /home/user/MyDocs
 sfdisk -d > sf.org
 cp sf.org sf.1
 vi sf.1 # set 1st partition to 83 and size to 30412800
 sfdisk --force /dev/mmcblk0 < sf.1
 mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
 cp -a /home/* /mnt
 umount /mnt
 reboot (maybe flashing required)
 sfdisk -d > sf.2
 vi sf.2 # resize 2nd partition to 30412800 and set start to 30412864
 sfdisk --force /dev/mmcblk0 < sf.2
 mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2
 mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt
 cp -a /home/* /mnt/
 umount /mnt
 umount -fl /home
 mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /home
 sfdisk -d > sf.3
 vi sf.3 # set partition 1 to type c
 sfdisk --force /dev/mmcblk0 < sf.3
 reboot (maybe flashing required)
 mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1
 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
 cp -a /media/mmc1/tmp/MyDocs/* /home/user/MyDocs
 reboot

Make space on rootfs

cat cleanRootfs.sh

 #Create folder in /opt for /usr/share
 mkdir -p /opt/usr/share
 #enter in /usr folder
 cd /usr/ 
 #cycle. FILE will have different value depend from step 
 for FILE in games include local src var
 do
   #if it is no symlink
   if  -h $FILE 
   then 
     echo "Omitting $FILE because it is a symbolic link"
   else
     #move folder (games include local src var) to /opt/usr
     echo "Moving $FILE"
     mv $FILE /opt/usr/
     #create soft link for moved folders
     ln -s /opt/usr/$FILE /usr/
   fi
 done
 #end of cycle
 
 mkdir -p /opt/var/cache
 cd /var/cache/
 for FILE in apt
 do
   if [ -h $FILE ]
   then 
     echo "Omitting $FILE because it is a symbolic link"
   else
     echo "Moving $FILE"
     mv $FILE /opt/var/cache/
     ln -s /opt/var/cache/$FILE /var/cache/
   fi
 done
 
 cd /usr/share/
 for FILE in fonts icons locale mime nokia-maps pixmaps sounds themes tutorial-applet zoneinfo
 do    
   if [ -h $FILE ]
   then
     echo "Omitting $FILE because it is a symbolic link"
   else
     echo "Moving $FILE"
     mv $FILE /opt/usr/share/
     ln -s /opt/usr/share/$FILE /usr/share/
   fi
 done
 
 exit 0
