so I am facing a weird issue after an unwanted reboot:

Code:
[   29.197082] journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 12 on mmcblk0p2
[   29.197113] Aborting journal on device mmcblk0p2.
[   30.251464] ext3_abort called.
[   30.251495] EXT3-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
My understanding is that the journal is broken, I need to "nuke" it, delete it, w/e and recreate it.

Am I correct?

Any help is appreciated.

Do not do this manually!
Let fsck take care of things.
Best scenario: You have BackupMenu installed and you have a Debian- or Ubuntu-PC or -Live-CD at hand: Start your N900 with the keyboard out, type 'w' to export the internal microSD to your PC read/write. Then run fsck from the PC on your second partition of the N900.
You could also try to fsck from BackupMenu, but i had no success with that (but did not try it recently).

Nope, didn't work.

I tried using fsck.ext3 on both a ubuntu machine with the method you described. It supposedly repaired the filesystem but no luck.

I also logged into BackupMenu through the console option and executed the fsck from there as well. It reportedly fixes the problem as well but when I reboot and the filesystem is still mounted as root only because the journal block cannot be found.

Any other ideas?

Quick question, are you using Power Kernel and if so what speed do you have your processor running at?

Finally fixed it !!

fsck alone did not fix the problem. I had to:

Code:
running fsck
tune2fs -O ^has_journal
tune2fs -j
re-reran fsck
