My second N900 was somehow soft-ly bricked (just doesn't boot) (not by me, a long story). So I'm trying to recover it without reflashing and found that it's easy to mount the OneNAND rootfs when the kernel has the UBI module (like the unoobi's one):

http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/f...#L_mount_ubifs

Code:

# apt-get install mtd-utils
# modprobe ubifs
# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 5
# mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt

P.S. Notice http://www.infradead.org/recruitment.html

As you may have noticed I stopped working with Ubuntu and switched to Arch for N900. The main reasons are:
0. Chroot from Maemo works on Arch.
1. Active work of others with Arch.
2. Lack of interest from Ubuntu/Linaro people.
I'm going to try 13.04 but not sure about the future versions.
I encourage everyone to try Arch too, here is the thread:
