I want to look at the space and get a good idea of what's taking what. What is the file system location of rootfs?

simple search should get you answers to basic questions
df -k

on the xterm will give you the status of filesystems

*EDIT*
du command is to see the size of the files in the specified/current path.

I have ran 'df -kh' and although it shows the usage of rootfs it doesn't show the file system location of rootfs, only the usage of rootfs. It does show a few directories but these don't add up to be rootfs as their file size is over 256MB.

Also, 'du -h' will just show directory space usage and not provide the location of rootfs.

The file size on rootfs will add up to over 256M as it's using a compressed file system.

Is that article suggesting that every directory that isn't /home, /home/user/Mydocs or /media/mmc1 is the rootfs?

Pretty much, yes - the python libraries are bind mounted under /usr/lib/py* though, so you'll have to discount those.

Yes, rootfs it '/', then the microsd is mounted onto /media/mmc1, 2GB apps parition is mounted on /home and remaining 28gb or so is mounted on /home/user/MyDocs.

MyDocs is what you see in the N900 File Manager.
