I recently repartitioned also, but I made a bit more extensive changes;
  • I wanted to have more partitions for different OS'es
  • I was constantly running out of space on my /home so I increased that also to 4G
  • altough it is OK to have the partitions in mixed order, I like them nice and stacked, hence I put MyDocs as last partition

So this is how my partitition table looks like:

Code:
~ # 
~ # /sbin/sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 1957120 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot    Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1       16  131087   131072   4194304   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2   131088  262159   131072   4194304   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3   262160  393231   131072   4194304   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p4   393232  1957119  1563888  50044416   5  Extended
/dev/mmcblk0p5   393232+ 524303   131072-  4194296   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p6   524304+ 655375   131072-  4194296   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p7   655376+ 1957119  1301744- 41655800  83  Linux

The partition assignments are;
  • p1, home, 4GB
  • p2, rootfs, 4GB
  • p3, Nemo, 4GB
  • p5, Sailfish, 4GB
  • p6, Ubuntu, 4GB
  • p7, MyDocs, 40GB

Currently all are formatted as ext4, but as soon as I get btrfs support on ubiboot I am going to try that on my device...
