Eldar from Mobile-Review has quite old software, so, please don’t read his review as representative of the final software. We have changed the partitioning of the storage to give more install space to apps. Final numbers will be visible closer to sales start, but there is already now plenty.

Not 24 hours after getting the n900 on the summit the rootfs partition was at 100%: there is no space left. All I did was installing fennec and some of the applications in extras-testing. I removed fennec but for example at the moment I only have 5 MB free memory in this partition and for me as normal power user there is no way to see why 45 of the 50 MB I had when started the device for the first time are already used now.

The usr/lib and user/share directory consume the most memory. But what files inside of these directories are needed and what files could better be placed somewhere else I don't know. I know the /opt directory is linked to a dir at the 2 GB partition on the memory card. Could I link other directories to a path in this partition too? If yes which exactly?

At the moment this point is the only one I don't like at the n900.
