(This deserves its own solution entry : ) I've come to like the idea of a user-friendly extras GUI app where you can resize the FAT32 ("user documents & music storage") and ext3 ("application storage") partitions. What do you think?

While camera has MyDocs path & camera safe folder path hardcoded (this is a bug, feel free to file it, but iirc it was filed already), neither media player nor photo viewer do. The file open dialogs are in hildonfm, and for the rest they use Tracker either way.

Despite IMHO not being a solution (unless you can click on "replace FAT32 partition by image") every user-friendly app is a good idea
How would you shrink and grow mounted ext3 home partition?

Titan,
I really like your idea. It seems it would solve all the problems I am having in a simple way. Could you write a detailed how-to and/or script? The description in the other thread is confusing. For example, how best can we get files from the current, perhaps full, FAT partition onto the new ext3 partition? If a lot of people do this and it works well, perhaps Nokia will adopt it.
ext3 supports online resizing of filesystems. So this wouldn't actually be that difficult for someone that is familiar with the partitioning/resizing filesystems.
I plan to release them in an updated ke-recv package.
What do you think about future Maemo devices. Should Nokia stick to the current approach (forever)?
