Not very healthy to left damaged filesystem in such state.

Note, that if you're worried about losing data, you may backup your MyDocs content (minus said known damaged file), and fsck it only afterwards.

hi Estel,

yes, thank you both. I was wondering even flashing my device (again) because some other little things are bothering me.

From the last big data loss (that michaaa62 helped me solving) I always do backups, I'm just sometimes too lazy and looking for the easiest way
Anyway, thanks!

EDIT: the next time I attached my n900 to win 7 PC in mass storage mode it warned me that something is wrong with the filesystem and asked me to run checkdisk automatically. I did, everything is looking fine.
(DISCLAIMER! Maybe I was lucky so this isn't a suggestion to anyone who has the same issue as me. Always do backups and check the filesystem the proper way - as michaaa62 and Estel said!)
