Is there a way to change the partition sizes on my HTC Desire. After rooting and installing CM my /system partition is way too big and /data is filling up constantly.
Is it possible to change partition sizes or move/remount some folders in the data partition to the system partition?
This is how my data partition space is used right now:
localhost data # du -h -d 1 | grep M
28.6M ./app
19.5M ./data
2.6M ./tombstones
66.2M ./dalvik-cache
117.6M .
localhost data # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 203.3M 0 203.3M 0% /dev
tmpfs 203.3M 0 203.3M 0% /mnt/asec
/dev/block/mtdblock3 250.0M 114.1M 135.9M 46% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 147.6M 121.4M 26.3M 82% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock4 40.0M 1.1M 38.9M 3% /cache

I think the ability to partition is one of the things S-Off is supposed to allow but I don't know if there's a tool yet to make this user-friendly.
In the meantime, you can try going to xda-developers and downloading DarkTremor A2SD, which will allow you to fully install all apps to a partition on your sd card. This effectively gives you almost unlimited space.

This is an excellent solution. It gives me you a lot more space apps.
I set this up like the nexus one: 145mb /system, 95mb /cache. Which leaves 197mb for /data. Moved the dalvik cache to /cache.
There is also a modified version of cyanogenmod available, for easy install: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?p=8581384
