Maybe your home partition has not been mounted, did you try to reboot your phone?

Also, what is the output of

mount

and

fdisk -l

?

i tryed umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 it says invalid argument
also fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1 invalid argument
fdisk -l not found
mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) and a long writing

Re: I cant see phone memory
 
okay, right command would be

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs (if my own mount list is correct :) )

And also, most of those commends should be done as root.

EDIT: and don't play with rootfs, it is loaded properly, it is only your mydocs partition which is not mounted properly

...quite possibly as a result of corruption. Does File Manager show the icon for the main memory (I believe it calls it "Nokia N900" by default) but nothing inside? Or is the icon not there at all?

From the amount of storage used as per your first post I would assume that you either have a LOT of applications installed or (more likely) some files that should be in MyDocs are, in fact, in your /home partition. May I ask you for the output of this in the terminal:

Code:

ls -l /home
ls -l /home/user
ls -l /home/user/MyDocs

(names are case sensitive, so it is MyDocs and not mydocs or MYDOCS)

fdisk -l not found
Try sfdisk -l. You need to be root for that.

It is that "long writing" that is interesting but let's start with the ls commands above.

Re: I cant see phone memory
 
Yes i used right command but it still (invalid argument) also i used command as root.

Disk /dev/mmcblk0p: 977024 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

Eh?

To be clear, what Mitrigol meant was:

Code:

root <press enter>
mount <press enter>
sfdisk -l <press enter>

Can you tell me if refleshing the phone can resolve this problem.

Most likely. But why shoot sparrows with a cannon? Let's try a simple solution first.

heh, i don't know if there any other solution, becouse i tried meny command, many ways but nothing

Re: I cant see phone memory
 
Those commands Mitrigol and I asked you to try were to figure out what's wrong. So far we have not received a good answer so cannot proceed to suggesting a solution. Please type those commands again exactly as asked and copy the results here exactly as received.

Hint: It may be a bit difficult to copy the screen output from the phone to the computer by hand. It may be easier to open this thread in the web browser on your phone and copy-and-paste from terminal to browser. Or you can open an SSH session from your PC to your phone and copy-and-paste that way.

Re: I cant see phone memory
 
Please try to check the partition's file system.
Code:

sudo gainroot
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs

Please 'Copy and Paste' the commands and the output to avoid to loose important hints!
