Solution for Disk Space issue on iPod Touch.

After some time you'll realize that there is no more space on your iPod Touch.
This happens because all applications are installed in root partition.

iPod Touch Operating System as well as any other UNIX operating system use disk drive partitioning of

following idea:

/ small partition to store system data (core)
/usr/home or /home to store user related data.

In our case

/var/media - partition to store Music and Video
all other sections on File system belongs to / "root" Partition.

So All applications you're installing located at /var/Application/



Easy fix is to move Application data to "media" partition and create symlink.


BossTools is our one button solution to perform these theory.

Step to get this application:

1 Switch on Wifi and connect to internet
2 Launch Installer App.
3 installation
4 Install:
Term vt100 (System)
BossTool (Utilities)
BossPrefs (Utilities)
