How would you shrink and grow mounted ext3 home partition?
ext3 supports online resizing of filesystems. So this wouldn't actually be that difficult for someone that is familiar with the partitioning/resizing filesystems.

I've resized several ext3 partitions while they were running. But not for some time now.

This may only work with growing the filesystem, not shrinking, and it may require a kernel patch that the n900 may or may not have.

So I guess really.... it *should* be possible.
