As you may all know, I was complaining a few months back about the decision to have a ridiculously large / and separated /home.

I have fixed that. (Alright, not 100%, I still need to redo the MyDocs partition to make it bigger)

EXHIBIT A: The alleged storage space.

EXHIBIT B: /proc/self/mounts don't lie

EXHIBIT C: Device working normally!

At this point, I should be able to delete the now-redundant mmcblk0p3, and get mmcblk0p1 some room to play.

Mini-howto:
Tested on a 16GB N9, with patched Open Mode.

THE TUTORIAL

Code:

# mkdir /homenew
# umount /home/user/MyDocs
# cp -a /home/* /homenew/
# sync
# vi /etc/fstab [see below]
# mount /home/user/MyDocs [for safety]
# reboot

/etc/fstab edit:

Code:
