IIRC, the 900 comes with a 2 GB partition for /home. /opt is also symlinked to that partition somewhere. There is a small (256 MB?) partition for / (root) and all the rest of the big flash is allocated as a FAT partition that's mounted as ~/MyDocs. This is what is unmounted an made available as USB mass storage when you plug in. You could repartition, but 2GB is quite a lot of installation space.

# umount /home/user/MyDocs

That should give an idea.
All apps of significant size have to install themselves to /opt (so, the 2 GB) partition instead of / to make it into extras. They can optionally put large data files into the MyDocs partition. Enabling extras-devel exposes apps that may or may not be "optified", so they might not install in the bigger partition.
