Since PR 1.3 is close, you might want to consider when reflashing everything to edit the eMMC image so that you will have a bigger /home/ partition. Something like 6GB should be enough. I already did this although I used my own method which is long and complicated. If you are willing, you can reflash now. Don't forget to backup of course. It is solution #5 in the wiki: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning...y_globalbus.29

Here it is:

Solution #5: Edit eMMC image (works on PR1.2, by globalbus)

Backup MyDocs, we need to flash device. Open eMMC image in hex editor, go to 0xcb, you will see this
Code:
partition {size = 2048;fs_type = "ext3";prefix = "home";}
Edit size parameter (do not change the size of file! The number must be from 1000 to 9999) Flash it now.

If MyDocs have incorrect size or it's not mounting automatically you need to format it and paste files from backup.

Code:
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.vfat -F32 -s64 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
If you have problems with this methd ask around in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35122

BTW a big thanks to Javi for this great find. Incredible that developers haven't noticed this (or did and decided to ignore it). Anyway thank you very much. I wish this gets noticed by EA, Gameloft and others.
