As a wild guess, an unresolved file system corruption after one of the previous USB disconnects? Just a hunch.

Thing is, it always runs fsck when I disconnect my N900, even if I use Safe Remove.

I know, that's how I read it the first time. What I meant is, sometimes in the past you removed it unsafely and corrupted the file system. That corruption has not been resolved and is still there.

This is what I guess is happening:

• Upon plugging the N900 to a PC, the OS unmounts the MyDocs partition and presents it to the PC
• Upon removing from USB, the OS tries to mount the MyDocs partition again
• It fails due to the corruption and runs fsck
• The corruption is probably not serious and fsck does not find any problems
• The mount then succeeds

Please keep in mind that I have no proof, only a hunch. Pasting the result of the fsck here might help.

I am also taking a wild guess that you have not lost any data, is that right? If so, then the easiest option would be to copy everything to a safe place, format the partition, copy everything back. Alternatively, you can try this: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.ph...44#post1440844

Formatting the storage didn't help :(

Re: N900 always running fsck upon USB disconnect, why?
 

Did you format it on the device or on the PC (via USB)?
Can you do it in the command line and post the output?
