Yep:D

Ok, thanks.

and look what we found out: the op mounted something and has problem with that mount.
Actually, he didn't mount it since it (MyDocs) is mounted by default on the N900, which was the assumption I was working on from the beginning. So it isn't really new information to me.

the question is more how and where, in, with what. so when you finished with whatever you doing on your pc(deleting files doesn't sound good). it might be good to have the

cat /proc/mounts

output so that the "guessing" stops and instead "know" what we have. so long as it is still possible to mount the thing considdering the errors you talking about.

you didn't pull out Mydocs that we know for sure but for the rest .... i want to see whats up with it.
btw /proc/mounts shows also if something of the kind retsaw mentioned is going on. facts.

Really? I've never come across that before, how do you get that "bonehead" message to show?

It really shouldn't take that long, did you select the option to scan and recover bad sectors, cause that'd slow it down, and really shouldn't be necessary, handling bad sectors should be done in hardware.

Heh. What type of filesystem was it? (they have different checkers), I might to see if I can get that message up myself sometime.

Re: How do I delete a read-only folder ?
 
ext3 or ext2.
strings should show you the errormessage without hurting a filesystem.

the message is:
---
WARNING: PROGRAMMING BUG IN E2FSCK!
OR SOME BONEHEAD (YOU) IS CHECKING A MOUNTED (LIVE)
FILESYSTEM.
