Hi,
in all times,
on a diversity of devices I own, I always somepoint get insufficient disk space.
This is always a problem with the data partition being smaller than needed.
Os my LG optimus p550 (one) there was no way I could let it bigger without a link2sd script because of the low space on nand.
On my Sony Xperia S (lt26i) I was having the same issue but without a solution caus there is no SD card, only NAND available.
On my Rena tablet I go into the same issue on several times and had to flash/wipe it because of malfuncions.
Today I saw one possible solutions on XDA and I would like to share.
It consists in formating new partitions and flashing the rom over it.
I dont know if on rena would work because on the install Script I saw some partition texts, but I will sure try it on xperia.
If someone thinks it would work also on RENA, please post your opinion and if possible, tips, ´cause the R4 is not the same as TWRP.
Best regards,
Marshel

On my device, I had first to re-formatted the NAND, allowing 500 Mb (instead of 256 Mb) to the Android system partition and 900 (was 750) Mb to data/cache. The "media" FAT partition is automatically reduced.
I did this by using the "install3.sh" setup script (see here: https://github.com/Renesas-EMEV2/Bootloader/blob/emev-4.1/fwupd/files/install3.sh lines 132 and 135), putting it into the SD card home, renaming it to "install.sh" and then removing (renaming) "ff4" from the same dir.
This way, the flashing procedure will use the install.sh script, in place of the interactive program ff4, and will reformat the NAND before flashing the new firmware.
Let it go, as it takes time (few minutes)... no message will appear on screen until the final confirmation.
The following re-flashing (even using ff4), will keep the new partitioning scheme.

PS - re-partitioning will erase all data (i.e. installed apps), which is normally preserved by a standard ROM flash (i.e. using "ff4").
