Hi all, I have an issue where my internal memory from / to /MyDocs has become Read-Only. I can't move edit or delete anything or save new photos. Any help to retify would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Akira

Yes, let us know what OS you are running on your lappy / desktop.

Chkdsk within Windows (DOS) will not clear up a Read Only FS, you will need to adjust the disk properties within the Disk Management Console, but if you are running Micro$haft Windoze I can walk you through that one

fsck your partitions, and you'll be fine.
also, try to reboot, several times on your n900, don't worry, it'll get over it

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1

Thanks all for your help, but the above didn't work
I'll have a go at connecting it to my PC. I'm running win7.

copy of my FSTAB file:

# autogenerated
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29 999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=000,rodir 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0
/home/opt /opt none bind
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0

Code:
umount /home/user/MyDocs
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs -o rw
Then try to write a file to ~/MyDocs - for example by taking a photo.

Let us know.

Do you have rootsh from extras repository installed?
This is necessary to perform all of the steps, because they need root rights!
