Re: EMMC with only 455.5 MB size
 
It does seem fairly clear at this point that the eMMC isn't being recognised at all. No-one seems to have thought to check if any swap is active run the command "free" to check what memory (including swap) is available and free, I would expect it to say there is 0 swap available.

It might still be of interest to see if there are any errors regarding the eMMC in dmesg, so how about saving the output to a text file on a SD card, put a SD card in and run
Code:

dmesg >>/media/mmc1/dmesg.txt
then you can upload the file or copy and paste it from your PC.

No need to additionally check for swap, as there are no partitions found and no device found. The corrosion nokia care found seems to be very real :( The emmc is non-existing for the kernel
Try to get something out of Nokia care, be it a new phone, a repair or some other stuff

But:
If nothing works, here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=69081 is a thread about moving /home /opt, aka. /home/opt, and /home/user/MyDocs to an external card. Try to read through it and do not hesitate to ask for more information if needed.
Get the fastest card you can grab, because speed-wise external cards are inferior to the internal card.

My phone NO HAVE CORROSION, NEVER touched by liquits.

The SAT repair one day, send to Care, Care test (not call to me, I live at 80 km), when test no start and return to SAT, and the SAT check again and see corrosion? 2 days before no corrosion? The SAT no have solutions for me and decide this excuse, and return me this phone with the waranty seal broken.

Just when you answer, I'm watching another spanish victim of the SAT for the same problem. I contact via pm

Not exactly true. Actually, internal eMMC seems quite average on speed. Onloy internal NAND is much faster (where kernel and rotfs live).

also, don't grab microSd class 6 or 10 - they're faster at bulk write/read speeds, but got worse random access. The latter is much more important for things like optfs and swap. microSD card 4 from SanDisk seem to be optimal.

BUT. I would not give up with repairing complains. If SAT is no use for You, fill official complain higher. If that doesn't help, get basic law advice (should be cheap), then go to appropriate law enforcements unit in Spain.

I'm searching all documents from my visits to Care, and then I visit "law enforcements".

And now I'm working with.... www.nokiacarenoreparamin900.com (Nokia Care not repair my N900) , pending to add detailed info, photos, my videos and others videos from another users at youtube with the same problem, etc...

Link added at Nokia Spain Facebook and Twitter

Thanks at all for your time.

Good luck mate. If You can, keep us updated - it would be great to know how it is going, and how end will look like.

My website www.nokiacarenoreparamin900.com , in one day, is in the first page at Google Spain searching Nokia Care N900. In the first position, another post from me at Nokia Support Discussions

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/...00/m-p/1145865

Interesting comments at the post in Nokia Support.

You should also publish one in english. Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish, so i'm unable to prepare good enough translation.

Re: EMMC with only 455.5 MB size
 
Nokia contact with me, and now I have a new one N900 and apologized.

Now the question is...

How prevent this "memory corrupted" again. Never connect it at pc? never disconnect it from pc wihout use "disconnect hardware with security" ? If I connect it to my car radio with usb, no acctivate never the massive storage? I must use microSD or bluethooth to copy files, songs, backup from pc to phone? Is ubuntu the solution?...

Thanks.
