Yes, it has happened to me with a Transcend 4GB card (internal slot) running 1.2007.44-4 on N800 (ie. OS 2008 for N810). The internal memory card is accessible, swap is in use and according to df it's mounted correctly but File Manager refuses to acknowledge I have an internal card, and only lists the external card. I haven't bothered to investigate it much further as I very rarely use File Manager (mostly using ssh etc.)

I honestly wouldn't mind if it were just the file manager that was being weird, but the fact that all of my file names were trashed... that's annoying. Interestingly enough, the files were there, and they seemed to be the right size, but i didn't try copying one over and renaming it to 'test.mp3' or whatnot...

I have had the problem of my SD card disappearing from the file manager. It came back after pulling it out and putting it back in AND resetting the n800. No corrupted files, but very annoying.

All very wierd and I have no idea what triggered it... a reboot fixed it and so far it hasn't happened again (I only rebooted a day or so ago).

Last night I found my internal card mounted read only for no apparent reason. A reboot sorted it for me too.

You should never have to reboot a linux system to get a filesystem remounted. All you need to do is becomeroot in the terminal and unmount (umount command) the filesystem and then remount it read/write (option rw) with the mount command. If it is busy so you can't unmount it, you can always do a remount=rw command, in which case it will not be unmounted for real, but the mode will be changed to read/write.
I know that the man-pages on the tablet itself are non-existant, but if you google for them, they are easily found.
Just a tip to avoid rebooting too much - rebooting is something you've learning in Windows-world. No computer should ever require rebooting, unless you actually need a new OS kernel. Imagine how much time you waste in your life waiting for reboots...

I've been running the beta of OS2008 on my N800 since it was released, and I haven't rebooted in a week plus. My N800 gets a fair bit of use, and I also use it to store (and play, obviously) MP3s and movies.
Today I noticed that the SD card wasn't showing up in the file manager. A reboot later, and the SD card was showing up, but with mangled file names. I was able to reformat the card, and am currently recreating my virtual memory and copying my crap back over.
Has this happened to anyone else, or is this an isolated thing?
EDIT: The card is a Kingston Class 4 4GB SDHC. It's shipped from Amazon (not an amazon partner) so I have no reason to think it's shady.
