Is there any chance to repartition the internal memory to have additional partitions on it?

I'm a little confused about how the Captivate storage is structured. Can someone clarify this for me?
The phone has internal storage and external storage. The external storage is straight forward so we can ignore that.
The internal storage is broken down into:
1. Internal SD card (~13.5 GB capacity)
2. Internal phone storage (~2GB capacity)
These are logical partitions of the same internal SD card (physical NAND storage) correct?
On a stock phone all of the OS and App data is stored on the "Internal phone storage" in separate folders?
Mimocan's lagfix works by moving the App data to a partition on the "External SD card"?
The EXT2 lagfix works by creating a new partition out of the "Internal SD card" which acts as a buffer between the OS and App data? (I think my understanding is definitely wrong here.)

There are a bunch of partitions on the internal memory. The ext2 lag fix works my creating an image of a partition and then mounting it via loop back device. The mimocan variant for the Captivate mounts an ext2 or ext3 partition and symlinks to it, or its just mounted as the target directory, I haven't checked.
Ok so i have been doing some reading about partitions on the Nexus S .
As it stands there 1gb internal memory and 16gb external sd (built in).
Right now i leave everything on internal memory and move games to external sd.
Now would creating a 1gig EXT partition and moving apps to that be any faster than on the external sd card?
And im assumign the internal memory is the fastet outta the lot?
Help? ^^
Spare yourself the trouble.
Physically it is all the same chip of flash memory, partitioned on a somewhat low level.
The "external" sd you are talking about is already a partition on that one flash chip.
Hi all.... I haven't found specific answers to my questions so am posing them here.
I am running CM11
Can you expand your internal storage without doing an entire ext sd card to internal swap? I want to use only part of my ext SD card to enhance the internal storage.
Is there any point in formatting multiple partitions on the ext SD card as fat32 / ext4 / Linux swap anymore? I thought doing this would have part of the partition used for internal storage and part as the ext sd card storage. Formatting the SD card through CWM deletes all partitions and formats it all as FAT32 for external storage only.
Thanks and go Blaze haha

You can partition your SD card on your pc into pieces that android won't recognize..follow this as a guide..the program is fantastic

Thanks ink. I will look at this more tonight but I did use Partition Wizard Home and formatted the first partition as FAT32 which is recognized as the external SD card1 in CM11 but the 2nd EXT4 partition isn't recognized by the ROM it seems. Maybe I just don't know how it would be used but checking the storage in settings didn't have any change to internal.
I have a tablet with 700MB Internal Memory and 5GB Nand Flash. There is an empty slot for SD card but I don't use it. All the apps installed in Internal Memory so 700MB doesn't fit. Do you know how can I set Link2SD 2nd Partition using space from Nand Flash 5GB?
Any solution to low internal memory problem?

Buy SD card, download Link2SD, make second partition on SD card in ext2 and link apps to second partition. I made second partition 1GB size and I don't have any problems with memory or app.
