Looks good so far, before carrying on assure yourself that it worked

Code:

df

Read the desired size for /home, aka optfs. But you have to apply a new partition table, because having MyDocs in the first partition is somehow hardcoded in Maemo.
Now after you are assured carry on with first

Code:

sudo gainroot

followed by this one command over these 5 lines

Code:

echo "unit: sectors
> /dev/mmcblk0p1 : start= 56631360, size= 4194304, Id= c
> /dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 64, size= 56631296, Id=83
> /dev/mmcblk0p3 : start= 60825664, size= 1572864, Id=82
> /dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0" > table

It parses the text between the "" to the file named table. Then apply the table to your device

Code:

sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < table

Now reboot again to make that partition setup known to the kernel

Code:

reboot

After reboot carry on with creating the filesystem for MyDocs partition and mount it

Code:

sudo gainroot
mkfs.vfat -F32 -n MyDocs /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs

Voila, your done!
