It should be available on the Maemo Community because I saw it somewhere. You should definitely do it because I cannot even install a 10 kb mod or something. It is bugging me now.
Secondly I am jealoused of your N900 because it must be working much faster than mine at the moment. :p

Make sure to backup everything important to youbefore.
Here is the wiki entry for repartitioning the internal memoryhttp://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash

Hi,

Thanks for that Link. I would like to know what is the main idea of doing this repartitioning? We can anyhow utilise that 27GB internal space right?

You can also repartition the flash using this guide.It has pictures too but u need Ubuntu for that. See post #1588

Since many applications are moved towards /opt, so-called optified, and only symlinks are still in /usr, there are scenarios, where the 2GB /home partition, that also contains /home/opt symlinked to /opt, is not sufficient.
With some clever methods you can customize the partition setup to your needs.

I like this!
Code:
df -k
Filesystem          1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  233344    181276    47788  79% /
ubi0:rootfs            233344    181276    47788  79% /
tmpfs                    1024        84      940  8% /tmp
tmpfs                      256      100      156  39% /var/run
none                    10240        80    10160  1% /dev
tmpfs                    65536        4    65532  0% /dev/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p2        4737108  2479388  2017080  55% /home
/home/opt              4737108  2479388  2017080  55% /opt
/opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python2.5
                      4737108  2479388  2017080  55% /usr/lib/python2.5
/opt/pymaemo/usr/share/pyshared
                      4737108  2479388  2017080  55% /usr/share/pyshared

                      4737108  2479388  2017080  55% /usr/share/python-support
/opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python-support
                      4737108  2479388  2017080  55% /usr/lib/python-support

/dev/mmcblk1p1        15542416  4647288  10895128  30% /media/mmc1
Reading 2,3 Gb occupied and still 2,2 GB free for /home partition. My Docs reduced to 24GB.

U can use the 27GB of internal storage any way you want. This partition allows you to install alternate OS's like NITDroid and so on..You can also increase the home partition where all your Maemo apps are stored with that guide i gave you. Its easy and you won't loose your files also but its always safe to keep a backup of everything.

Re: Bricked N900 - HELLLPPPP!!!!
 
I think I've finally bricked my N900. I followed these instructions to install the gingerbread image on my eMMC:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ngerbread+eMMC

I went through these instructions to the letter, and when I rebooted, I get the Nokia N900 - Multiboot, showing "press a key to select". There is a 1 & 2 and both options are blank. When I press either one, the 30 second counter resets to [30]. When I press "0" it says:
Maemo (default)
booting - Please wait
Kernel: 2.6.28-omap1

everything else is blank and the system just hangs there. I tried to re-flash the eMMC, but when I start the flasher-3.5, I will recognize the N900, but then after a few seconds, I get a message that says waiting for device. It is almost like I cannot boot into flash mode. Any help would be appreciated. I have not seen anything like this before. Prior to trying the above, I did have NITDroid installed on my SD Card. Now, the boot menu will not see the SD Card on boot to load NITDroid.
I am officially stuck.

Thanks,

~John
