ok so bringing this back a bit, uninstalling apps like crazy and my root still stays at 44mb, tried apt-get clean / remove still stays the same size o.O
Out of interest, volt, how do you suggest Nokia solve this problem, if not optifying?
i'd suggest nokia to provide option to upgrade n900 to the 8GB OneNAND for those real linux users. Or start selling a 8GB OneNAND model, and i'll glad to trade in for that model.

Please see my response in the prior rootfs thread you posted in. That's not an 8-Gigabyte chip, it's an 8-Gigabit (1-Gigabyte) chip.

I had much the same issue, couldn't figure out what I'd installed that was using all the space - 'storage usage' pointed me in the right direction for some things. Anyway, the comment (linked below) should start you on the right path, though some of the things the individual linked do not need to be any longer because they already are in PR1.2.
Im kind of a noob and have problems with my n900. I only have 49.9mb free space on rootfs and the new maemo update needs 113mb. I've read in this tread that non optified apps can take up space on rootfs so i've uninstalled everything i've ever installed. I ran apt-get clean (which doesnt do anyting) and apt-get autoremove (which have deleted alot, but not enough)
What more can i do? As i said, im a noob so please explain in detail :P
The rootfs is separate because it's a high-speed flash memory chip connected directly to the processor. It's only 256M because that was the largest that was available at the time.
Thank you. I had the same problem, and following your advice, I've removed (as root) one of the applications that wasn't optified.
In my case, I've solved the problem removing youtube-dl. I couldn't use apt-get, because it had a failure, due to the lack of space. I just did:
# rm /usr/bin/youtube-dl
# touch youtube-dl
# dpkg --configure -a

Cheers!!!!
If you hardly have any applications installed then you shouldn't be having any issues with rootfs space (and I don't know which "previous" screen shot you mean - the last screen shot posted to this thread is quite a few pages back and shows everything working okay). Exactly what error message are you getting?
