My N900 setup

Reparitioning

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
  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
