so..I maneged to fix all errors fsck was giving me...

now, Filebox still looks weird, no icons
the icons,however, are in the Filebox directory.

but the weirdest thing is, I mis a whole directory...!
in /MyDocs I have a directory Documents.
its only shown in the default filemanager, but nowhere else.
not in hamsterfile,not i xterminal LS...

any ideas left...?

This 'Documents' you are finding in the default application is really /home/user/MyDocs/.documents in the file system hierachy. You should find that folder in filebox at that place.

bit ashamed, but everyting is back to normal....
.documents is a hidden folder,as i found out :/

the only real problem stil,was filebox acting weird.
changing some settings back and fort fixed it to....

thanks for all the hints in this threath, so i got the read/write thing sorted out also...

I followed pichlo's advice and fsck'd a dd copy. Takes a while that dd copy so because fsck repaired the dd copy just fine I kept it as a backup and then fsck'd the exported n900 partition directly. Worked as well. But why the corruption. Will test large downloads.

Glad you got it working.

As to why the corruption - you said you switched it off for being unresponsive, didn't you? Powering down or rebooting a device while writing to a storage medium is taking place is pretty much a guarantee for FS corruption. Some file systems are more robust than others, but this kind of treatment will be a challenge to all of them. Which is by the way the main reason for having to "safely remove" a USB memory stick, for example. To get the OS a chance to finish all writes and make sure the FS is consistent.

I wish it were so simple - I did no such thing. The weirdness became evident when cutetube no longer could save a download after 2 successful large files.... The cutetube folder was screwy thereafter.
