/home is eMMC I'm afraid.
I don't think Ubuntu believes in sudo. There should be a shortcut for something like "root terminal", but I can't tell you where since I ditched Ubuntu in 2012 when they switched to Unity. You will need to find it yourself.
If you are adventurous, try this on your N900:
Code:
sudo gainroot dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=/media/mmc1/home.img
That's assuming you have an SD card inserted, of course. It is preferable to copy to an SD card to reduce writing to eMMC to a minimum. If you don't have an SD card, replace /media/mmc1 with /home/MyDocs.
Next, copy home.img (it should be 2GB in size) to your Linux computer and run in a root terminal:
Code:
fsck -t ext3 -afy home.img
