Maemo PR 1.2 installed on my n900. I want more ext3 space after boot to softlink /var/cache/apt and /home/users/Projects at the very least.
For some unknown reason I cannot find any way to do it. I believe the simplest one is to use ext3 sd card. Still, adding two lines to /etc/event.d/rcS-late causes unbootable system. The same commands work just fine when executed manually. It drives me crazy.

# First added line:
echo "/dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/card ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0" >> $tmp_fstab
cmp -s $tmp_fstab $fstab || cp $tmp_fstab $fstab
rm -f $tmp_fstab
# Second line:
/bin/mount /mnt/card

I have no success with repartitioning before. Does anybody solve this simple problem on Maemo PR 1.2?

Take a look at these:

I myself have repartitioned the N900 to have 6GB of ext3 in /home/ partition.

I'm afraid it does not help:
It Seems with PR1.2 release below methods don't work as it is impossible to boot without /home
Default MyDocs takes almost 2Gb so I dont know if simple swapping is a good idea.

Try my method. You'll need to reflash, but it works.
