Better to take backups before this, document what's been moved and prepare for reflash. Personally I wouldn't move any executable code (binaries or libs) on MMC as its contents can corrupt when their file systems get uncleanly umounted (if you remove the MMC when it's written, disconnect USB cable without synching the MMC file system or device HW watchdog reboots the device when there's some unwritten MMC data). With data files, such as ones in MyDocs or /usr/share/osso-help/ this is a bit more safe. - Eero
