Try to force a file system check from your windows pc

or

from X-Terminal application, you need rootsh installed for this to work:

Code:

sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1

There might be an neglectable error if the device is not mounted

Code:

fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1

Then reboot the N900.

This is odd, because fsck ran fine without any errors.
Try to get the output of these commands

Code:

mount
df -h
ls -al /home/user/MyDocs
sudo gainroot 
sfdisk -l

and post them here, please.

This useless, if you do not give full output with copy and paste! You might want to redirect the output into a file and attach that file, but please copy and paste the commands to not ruin it by typos.

Code:

mount > debug.txt
df -h >> debug.txt
ls -al /home/user/MyDocs >> debug.txt
sudo gainroot  >> debug.txt
sfdisk -l >> debug.txt

This does not have any output in the terminal, but redirects the output to a file debug.txt. Please attach that file to the next post.
