If you had plugged the N9 to a Windows PC and not done a safety removal this can happen so just plug it back in and once it's detected on your PC, do a safety removal of device.
If the above was/is not the case, you could do a manual mount as prescribed in /etc/fstab for /dev/mmcblk0p1

Somehow the N9 doesn't seem to like the partition table that geparted saved on N9 ...

i work on Linux and i did, unfortunately, more than only an incorrect unplug of the device (see above) ...
I will try tomorrow the mount like in fstab, thanks for the hint!

best solution is reflash with --no-preserve option to restore factory partitions layout

Like now it looks like i've lost "only" my pictures, videos and documents. So it would be great if i would be able, with your help, to just hang in again the lost MyDocs partition.
You see i would like to avoid reflashing, if any possible ... *PRAY*

Err, FileManager - N9 - LongTap 
Which file manager?
But to the OP:
it is possible to recover from that on device. But possibly you need opensh or be in open mode.
devel-su
develsh
/sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
will show you partition layout.
You need 'c' (W95 Fat32) for first partition /dev/mmcblk0p1. Change that with sfdisk. And then recreate file system with mkfs.vfat.
/sbin/mkfs.vfat -n MyDocs /dev/mmcblk0p1

i need some help for recovering the MyDocs partition, because i accidentally cancelled this partition.
I guess that all my files are lost, but now i can not save anything on my N9 or can not even use the camera because the camera doesn't find the place where to save the pictures. When trying to start the camera it says: "Camera can not be used bedause the device is attached to a computer".
A sfdisk shows me:
Thanks!
Best
