thx

Make sure you understand the solution fully, know about the risks of loosing everything if you not backup properly!
Read, digest, understand or ask your questions before doing something irresponsible, it saves your nerves!!!
This is the table for solution #3 only. It is the temporary table because of the two zero'ed partition type entries, which will not get mounted during reboot!

Code:

echo "unit: sectors
> /dev/mmcblk0p1 : start= 64, size= 39854080, Id=0
> /dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 39854144, size= 20971520, Id=0
> /dev/mmcblk0p3 : start= 60825664, size= 1572864, Id=82
> /dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0" > table

The types of the partitions will get changed later in solution #3 of the wiki http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning...ome_and_MyDocs

Edit: Documentation of the calculation:
Start from the end, swap partition will not get changed [ignore it]. The first partition must start at 64!!!

Code:

10G=1024*1024*10*2=20,971,520 Sectors is the size of partition2
60825664 minus 20,971,520 = 39854144 is the starting value for partition2
39854144 minus 64 = 39854080 is the size of partition!

These three calculations will give you all the numbers for the table above.
