Ok how do I merge it? Or only a mod can do it?
I've merged it to post #188 on page 19.

Upon swapping the home and MyDocs partitions with each other, I have noticed how much nicer it would be if the 2gig Vfat partition was mounted to another folder within MyDocs such as .documents or such since so many programs put their large cache folders within MyDocs (gpodder). How would I go about that? The fact that fstab gets rewritten kind of throws me. Is there a script somewhere to adjust?

Guys, first:
AWESOME! Swear to God I was really excited to read this. Hacking and slashing at limitations at its best. Congratulations, really!
And just a question: do you guys envisage a future where it would be possible to repartition the internal memory so as to install other OSs in it? Say, NITDroid? Has anybody tried it? Is it possible as of today? Would multi-boot work on such a partition scheme?
Once again, thank you for all the effort you guys have been putting into this (ruskie, titan, guy with the chinese name I couldn't possibly type on my lowly western keyboard, and all the others. Far out!).

I am also searching for ways to repartition /home/ to 6 Gigabytes (because 2gig is not enough, I'm removing apps everday and I have lots of free space on MyDocs. I think It's stupid.) without reflashing, but I'm stuck :|
Any news about this?

You just need to adjust the partition table to make /home bigger and MyDocs smaller.
You will lose the content of MyDocs, but that folder is easy to backup (copy 'n paste). All your settings etc will be kept.
Please note I've applied that method to a cleanly PR1.3 reflashed device, though the method should work on a 'dirty' device as well.
Also possible: full eMMC as ext3 /home (with MyDocs as loopback file) + MicroSD as swap =

Some of the methods I described on
http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash
no longer work on PR1.2 as it is impossible to boot w/o /home.
An alternative method w/o reflashing could be:
* delete MyDocs partition
* create new home at the beginning of the free space
* copy old home to new home
* set old home's type to unknown
* reboot
* delete old home and create new MyDocs,
make sure MyDocs is partition 1 in the table (even though it's 2nd in the logical layout)
I always use sfdisk as I couldn't make fdisk align the partitions to multiples of 64K,
which is important for flash performance. It's also much easier to swap the table order with sfdisk.
