I just hope that this permanent corruption isn't caused by overclocking or some bug in the new kernel-power v49 that I don't understand.
Otherwise I will kill my other N900 a lot sooner than I would like.

I still think I can get the problematic N900 in a functional state though. I think relocating the partitions (not using the first 2GB that probably have been used the most in the past 2 years), or doing a number of badblocks scans and marking all bad blocks I can find will probably do it. (or am I mistaken and does the N900 do some wear-leveling that spans the entire 32GB flash drive? Leveling wear even across partitions?)

If that does not help then there is definitely something else going very wrong (physical damage because of the dropping the device or overclocking?).
