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. So it is more a guideline than a "how to".

  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
