Re: messed up file system (was Filebox)
 

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...?

Re: messed up file system (was Filebox)
 

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...

Re: (solved) messed up Filebox
 

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.
