Install ext3fs with Meta-Doctor

You can use Meta-Doctor to create a ext3 fs carved out of the space that is used for the vfat LVM partition.

The Option is:

EXT3FS_PARTITION_SIZE 

With that option you can specify the size of the partition

EXT3FS_PARTITION_SIZE  = 2GB

for a 2GB partition.

When you Doctor the phone you will have a partition that is located at

/media/ext3fs 

on device /dev/store/ext3fs (lvm partition)

Loop mount a partition on existing partitions

It is NOT recommended that you loop mount on top of a vfat partition (unless you use a fuseFS) because of attribute issues.

With Meta-Doctor you can increase the size of the /Var partition as well

The Option is:

VAR_PARTITION_SIZE  = 2GB

It increases the size of /var to 2GB
