OK I think I narrowed my problem down to this line:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home
Could somene a bit more learned in linux please confirm that this is not the n900s own internal storage before I attempt to unmount this. Also, will the command "unmount /dev/mmcblk0p2 " do the trick?
The full text of the line as it appears when the mount command is entered is:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writebac k)
The unmount command is umount without 'n', but why do you want to unmount /home ?

It should be 2GB in size, so depending on what you installed in maemo and what you copied over for nitdroid, you could have filled it up. Best thing to do is to delete the nitdroid files.

OK thank you- I will leave that well alone and not touch it.
I don't know why my /home thinks it is full though. When looking on midnight commander is says there is space there, but on the disk usage app it is full and the characters are all squares ( yeah- very weird) and app manager won't let me update anything cos it says /home is full.

The original /home contains only 3 directories (lost+found, opt and user) and no file:
All other files and directories you see in /home are for Android

Thanks fabry. I'll go see if there is anything big in there I can delete and see if that solves it. According to conky though, there is 105.02mb free, that is what's so puzzling why it is telling me there is no space when there is

I can confirm reboots that jakiman mentioned. Also random reboots are frequent.

You can reduce or remove the reserved space using the tune2fs utility if you want to, but it is probably best to leave it as it is
