/home is ext3, not FAT

Doing mount -o remount,ro /home will work if there are no files opened for writing - you'll be able to fsck then. You may also want to look at the output of:

du -hsx $(ls -a /home/ | sed -r "s/^.{1,2}$//g")

This will also take into account any hidden directories/files directly in /home

a remount to readonly doesn't work: device is busy.

I know that in normal X it uses several files in the home directory which could cause a lock if the Maemo UI is the same way.

I would try to do:

0. make some small file in /home
1. shut all networks
2. stop all activity

(that steps just to minimize device activity)

3... unplug battery
4. insert it again
5. switch ON device.

That steps should trigger boot FSCK and it should fix or prevent mount (but based on fsck output it is small probability).
Of course, if it doesn't fix and you have in /opt something from hildon window manager, you probably have no choice after that but reflush device.

Today later I will look how to trigger fsck on boot besides battery unplug. Usually system has some nice utility, but I think it is not in Maemo by default.

Run the following to see what write locks are in place... those will prevent a remount.

lsof +D /home | grep -E "[0-9][wu][wWuU]"

Hi,
i've the same problem.
I've try to install this app: Easy Debian (Fremantle) v0.9.35-3fremantle1.
All was fine but the 2gb partition was full and i can't recive any e-mail e\o sms. So I have decided to uninstall it.
When I finisched to unistall I'd deleted the big image file from 27gb mmc,but i alredy see 2gb partition full (only 70mb free) and 25gb free on mmc.
I have try to upgrade to new firmware PR1.1 two times,but nothing change.
This is the output of this two command:

cd /home
du -hsx *

16k lost+found
472.4M opt
46.8M user

Any help?
can i format 2gb partition?

Thanks a lot to all...

PS:sorry for my bad English
