Storage

The Nokia N900 has 32 GB eMMC and 256 MB NAND non-removable storage.[2] Additional storage is available via a hot swappable microSDHC card socket, which is certified to support up to 16 GB of additional storage.[69] The microSDHC card can be formatted with a supported file system such as ext2, ext3, FAT16 and FAT32.[citation needed]

The 32 GB eMMC is split into 3 partitions:[32]

  • 2 GB as ext3 mounted to /home
  • 768 MB as swap
  • the remainder as VFAT mounted to /home/user/MyDocs with about 27 GB of free space.

The 256 MB NAND is formatted as UBIFS[70] and contains the bootloader, kernel and root directory "/"[citation needed] with about 100 MB of free space.[71]

Programs larger than 500 kB including dependencies should be stored in /opt which is symlinked to /home/opt and therefore located on the 2 GB ext3 partition. The VFAT partition is also available for storage but needs to be used carefully as it is unmounted and exported if a usb cable is connected to the device.
