OK now I am beginnig to understand... I can see the stuff in /dev/mtd's like this:

Code:
~ # 
~ # cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00040000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 002c0000 00040000 "config"
mtd2: 01000000 00040000 "kernel"
mtd3: 00200000 00040000 "log"
mtd4: 1ca40000 00040000 "var"
mtd5: 02000000 00040000 "moslo"
mtd6: 20000000 00040000 "omap2-onenand"

So basically you suggest that I should use the space in mtd4. Size 0x1ca40000 is bytes, right? So it comes to about 480MB of space...
Thats quite OK for a lots of stuff to be put there. I was not even aware that there is such a space, in excess of mmcblk0.

What I find hard to understand now, if this space is called "var", it is not mounted as /var ?
As there is only /var that is part of the / (mounted from /dev/mmcblk0p2) in the system... so what is it actually used for?
