Right?
How I should repartition the MyDocs ?

Should I run autopartition.sh script ? With which options? or the partition will be repartitioned automaticaly when I load a modified Moslo?
When you do that with a device that contains the default 3 partitions (root, home, MyDocs) the partitioning is started automatically by init on the moslo ramdisk.

What will happen, is your mmcblk0p1 (MyDocs) is broken into 2 pieces, it will become mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p4, where the partition 4 is at the end of the original MyDocs.
The new partiton size is 4G, so if you have a 16G device it will quite drastically shorten your MyDocs partition.

And hey, backup your MyDocs before the partitoning!!

When the partitoning and formatting is done, the new device is exported over USB to your linux PC (and it has to be linux, since if you do this with windows it will not understand anything about the new partition, since it's ext4fs...)

Now you are ready to unpack the content of the Nemo filesystem tar to the new fresh partition.
