You can't and never will be... You need to become a pro hardware modder if you want that... chip on rootfs and EMMC is different. You can't resize a chip do you?

Basically you are right, but there are some workarounds, where you use some space of the internal flashcard to be used by symlinks from the RAM, where the real rootfs is loaded during boot.

Symlinking doesn't increase the rootfs space... What you suggested isn't a solution but a workaround for the problem

In that case it bypasses it by having things run off the emmc ... which is a round about way to do things. Just an idea, I know the flash can't be resized unless you get in with chip and solder.
