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:

ADD_EXT3FS_PARTITION 

With that option you can specify the size of the partition

ADD_EXT3FS_PARTITION  = 2GB

for a 2GB partition.

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

/media/ext3fs on device /store/ext3fs

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:

INCREASE_VAR_SPACE  =1

It increases the size of /var to 2GB

Realize that you will be vying for space with any Preware apps, emails, and attachments.
