I'd like to know logical structure of maemo filesystem
rootfs is the filesystem that the root directory is on. The N900 has a 256M OneNAND chip that's used for rootfs, and a (slower) 32GB eMMC flash that's partitioned for 768M swap space, 2G /home, and 27G /home/user/MyDocs. The other key directory you'll read about is /opt which is actually a symlink to /home/opt.
