Open the emmc image with a hex editor and change 2048 to what ever you want, then flash the phone using that image.

Easy to do, just make sure you take a backup first.

Hi everybody...
I could need some help here.

I'm on PR1.3 and therefore
tried solution #7 from the wiki but I used a different filetable
see, below

Code:
unit: sectors
/dev/mmcblk0p1 : start=       64, size= 39854080, Id= c
/dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 39854144, size= 16777216, Id= 5
/dev/mmcblk0p3:  start= 56631360, size=  4194304, Id=83
/dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 60825664, size=  1572864, Id=82
/dev/mmcblk0p5 : start= 39854160, size=  9765680, Id=83
/dev/mmcblk0p6 : start= 49619856, size=  7011504, Id=83
my question is now, will my phone find /home on mmcblk0p3 or will it look for it on mmcblk0p2 as this was the default partion? Wich leads to my next question; do I probably need to keep those echo lines in
Code:
/etc/event.d/rcS-late under '-f /usr/lib/genfstab.awk > $tmp_fstab'
do I need to edit them to mmcblk0p3 or can I safely remove them?

And last but not least is there eventually another way to copy /home back to emmc?
I don't know why, but my phone keeps crashing/rebooting after about 20 minutes of copying files back from sd card.
(edit: I tried to restore /home with filebox but it gives a lot of copying errors
Cannot create symbolic link targeting to source
Hopefully someone can help...

thx in advance,

..::J4ZZ::..

So in short yep use gparted for multi paritioning.
hi..how do u repartition mydocs using partition magic?

i have partition magic installed on my windows laptop..however, when i connect my N900 to the laptop, partition magic did not lists MyDocs..

it only showed my hard drive letters..and no removable drives (MyDocs and Memory Card)..

my laptop's disc drive is fried..so i can't use it to boot into GParted LiveCd..

would u elaborate more on how to use the partition magic?thx

It is possible to repartition without flashing vanilla image and without loosing data on existing partitions.

Simple use backupmenu v2 with a linux pc (with gparted installed).

This guide can explain how to:

Unfortunately Google's translation is not perfect

Is the solution #1 (swap /home and MyDocs partition) compatible with PR1.3

If the question is refferred to link I have posted, the answer is NO.

It is a variant of Solution #6: Custom repartitioning from a linux PC

Original Solution 6 use MeeGo rescue image, instead the linked guide use BackupMenu v2 for same purpose
