Actually / is 256MB built-in to the CPU package. It contains the OS/Firmware.

/opt -> /home/opt is 2GB reserved from the 32GB internal storage chip. It is meant to be used for anything you install on top of the standard firmware as / has very little spare space.

/media/mmc1 is the Micro SCHC card.

When you plug in the N900 in USB Mass storage mode, the host PC maps the /media/mmc1 and the /home/user/MyDocs partitions as separate readable drives.

If you want to move files from anywhere else onto your PC, first copy them to either the SDHC card, or to /home/user/MyDocs.

Hope this helps.
Is correct.

Basically, /home/user/MyDocs is where you are expected to put all your files such as music, videos, documents. The camera also saves here.

If you really need to access other parts of the filesystem you can always install OpenSSH - Server and then use winscp (if you are on Windows) to login and browse the filesystem. I am not sure if OpenSSH is in testing or extra though and you need to be a lot more careful when using it anyway as it gives you power to change things that will stop everything working.
