Hi Robbie,

So what you are saying is to tarball all the files and copy this tarball to an external hdd (my ubuntu box) then delete he files from the phone to see if it effects the running of the device. if so then restore the files?

That could be horribly wrong and i apologise.

I am assuming these partitions are the main optfs and mirrors of, correct? Im not really that attached to my apps and content, is it possible to as "hassan_badredin" said to just format this whole flash chip (eMMC), or just the OptFS?

Will everything be lost except for the maemo os on the rootfs?

Thank you so much!
