Hello!
I have really strange problem. MyDocs isn't mounted at start.
Maybe more details, what I did before the problem, etc.
Yesterday, what I did:
- removed hands video (renamed extension to *.disabled)
- added Reboot option to power key menu
- installed healthcheck app

And now, when I reboot, MyDocs isn't mounted autoatically. When I mount it, it mounts, but read-only.
What is strange, when I type in terminal e.g.
It can't reove it.
When I type it with sudo:
The same
When I type it with --force:
It gives many errors, read-only file system it says.
What can be problem?

So, you see, strange situation. It can't be automatically mounted, when it's mounted it's read only, when I mount it manually, read write..

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

From what I see in another thread:
HealthCheck can be problem. But I uninstalled it from HAM...
Is the only solution flashing?
P.S. I will try removing U-Boot and installing BackupMenu and restoring my old rootfs + optfs backup. Maybe it's the problem

I formatted the MyDocs via PC. FAT32, lba flag. It finally helped

I don't know HealthCheck but you probably don't have to reflash.

Could you share the output of

#: precedes a comment which the shell will not take count of.
mount: displays the list of mounted partitions.
|: redirects the output of mount to the following command
grep -i mydocs: filters the list, only keeping line(s) containing "mydocs", in an insensitive manner (-i) (because I am lazy)
>: sends the wole output to a file


and
cat: displays the content of a text file.
/etc/fstab: the file where boot mount instructions are stored.

So you can copy /home/user/mount_output.txt and /home/user/fstab_output.txt from your N900 to your computer and copy/paste here.

My fstab is correct. Now I know, what was the problem.
I tried to extract one tar.xz with SuperTuxKart via tar xf tool, then via filebox. The app freezed, and I needed to force to close it.
Then, I discovered many damaged files in MyDocs. I wasn't able to delete them even via PC.
So I formatted (while sharing eMMC via BackupMenu to PC) MyDocs to fat32, now it works perfectly, and is correctly mouted at boot

Hmm, side note but this reminds me a problem with encoding differences between formatting from backupmenu or from booted N900.
I couldn'f delete files with accents in Fremantle if the FS was formatted from my PC trhrough backupmenu. I had to do it from the PC too.

I recall that was mostly a dirty file system problem, dosfsck -y /dev/whatever-partition will clean it up where it can be mounted rw.

I think that is a problem related to the differences in FAT v. NTFS file system. They don't recognize file names in the same way and so won't recognize the accent marks the same way. Windows uses NTFS.


Those accents can make for some funny computer occurances. I always get gibberish leftovers on my screen when I use Vi to edit an audio playlist that has a Sigür Rós song on it; more so when it's from Agaetis Byrjun. I don't even know how I got the ae to merge into one character, but I did ... once.
