Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

Hello.

* My memory has been corrupted. I do not to format want it.
Has many bad sectors
Deterioration mmcblk0p2:(
The only way to re-partition my drive.
Is there a way to replace the partition?

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

You should not need to repartition just yet - check the file system. There are quite a few threads on TMO and possibly some mention in the Wiki. Essentially, you first "unmount" mmcblk0p2 (i.e. the MyDocs partition), then you perform the check and lastly turn the phone off. When you turn it back on, it will all be OK.

Look it up because it's worth remembering the command terms - there are only two or three and they're quite short.

Try these commands:

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

Yes, that's the actual code for the pseudo code I wrote above. The fsck line needs to be repeated until no errors are reported.

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

mmcblk0p2 is actually optfs and you cant unmount it while device is on.
MyDocs is mmcblk0p1
and mmcblk0p3 is swap memory

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

Yes







Command in error





I have a recipe for something beyond the need to re-partition my

Difficulties in the flash n900

Was recommended for better partitions:(


But I could not run the GParted-Live-CD:(
More help restart and the new partition

Thanks:rolleyes:

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

fsck.vfat wont run on mmcblk0p2 since its mounted and its ext3 file system.

root
fsck.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2

it will ask permission to check as optfs is mounted and you cant unmount it while device is on.

Alternative if you can install backupmenu.
It can check at boot time.

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

You're right. I didn't notice it :)

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

Either use pali recovery console or backup menu root console
gain root access
then type
fsck.ext3 -f /dev/mmcblk0p2
this will repair all coming errors

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

you say you have many bad sectors, so have you tried scanning for bad sectors on a windows pc? (scan and fix)

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

i dont think you can mount optfs on pc

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

hi

yes
can not mount optfs on pc
This is possible by using the Backup menu ;)

Thanks to all
To solve these problems I've found no alternative but to replace the hard disk.
In the future I hope to find a solution to this issue is
Good luck :)

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

are you facing user space problem or optfs problem?

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

my n900's internal memory saying (read only )..no file is copied or send

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

Use of the search function would have saved you a lot of time. You need rootsh installed for these commands to workIf errors occur please post the complete message here.

thanks alot michaaa...it worked...also to u raaj

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

copy all of them you want to save into MicroSD or ftp/sftp server,
flash your N900,then restore them.This is the best way to solve them exactly.

I hate fsck commands only that waste time and damages N900 partition.

Re: Memory problems n900 (Read Only file)
 

Or you are too lazy even too try:D
It never messed my partition.
