My symtoms are somewhat the same, so i set off fsck over two hours ago, and it is now renaming files in it's third thousand. I do not know how long it should take given 26gb of music, golf and snooker. The only thing that worries me is that the memory view in file manager showed 1.3gb free and that looked like a third of the available memory on the little blue bar when should show approx 1.3 against 26.8 total. Am I in more trouble than I think?

Don't be surprised that it starts fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1

However, if your memory is seriously wrong, it will not get repaired by this.

Try to run, as root:

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck.vfat -avl /dev/mmcblk0p1

To see which files are wrong.

If you want to repair it, run fsck to completition. You may need to keep charging N900, to prevent shutdown-during fsck.

Since for me shutdown-during-fsck was inevitable, I used switch -w to cure the filesystem.

After the filesystem gets repaired, reboot, and it should auto-mount. It may take several minutes, though, to assure itself that the filesystem is fine.

Best wishes.
