type "df -h" enter
you will see something like this
"dev/mmcblk0p1 27.0G 1.3G 25.7G 5% /home/user/MyDocs"
type "umount /home/user/MyDocs/" enter
type "fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1" enter
if what you see in red here is different from what you have change it.
the last command may have to run several times until the point where you dont get any errors.
Then close terminal and reboot your phone.
I did notice also that mine is /dev/mmcblk0p2 2.0G 790.5M 1.1G 41% /hom

It looks like your N900 was fine from the start. It seems that it's your pc which is 'infected'. I would advise to stop using your N900 in mass storage mode like that for now. Clean your pc.
It's a pity that now it looks like your N900 is corrupt as well. In your shoes, i'd use Testdisk on N900 or install it in a linux live system, copy all your stuff across, and format MyDocs.

@qhubekela, yes my device just worked fine last night, i was just taking pictures. Now today, I inserted my external devices in the pc (flash drive, external drive and my phone). I was transferring music into and out of the devices (except my phone, it was idle for awhile. I just kept my phone in Mass storage mode all the time, and afterwards when I checked my N900 folder in the .sounds folder, there I found that my songs are missing, and it does not show in the status bar that there were hidden objects.
And now when I reconnected again to the PC, the .sounds folder is gone.
I am really at a loss right now. I'm not a techy person, I have no idea about Testdisk on N900 or installing in a LINUX live system.
Help me please.

I restarted the process and this is what I see at the bottom part.
/dev/mmcb1k0p1 27.0G 19.5G 7.5G 72%/home/user/MyDocs
after that I did below:
1. Nokia-N900:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs and enter
after what showed is only this:
Nokia-N900:~#
2. next
I retyped Nokia-N900:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs and enter, that's when I get the same error cannout umount / home/user/MyDocs?: Invalid Argument

Hello Mike. Thanks for that. I appreciate it. I followed the above steps.
Here is what i DID:
1. root

3. Nokia-N900:~# df -h
4. Nokia-N900:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs/
[I get an invalid argument after the 4th line ]
umount:cannoy umount /home/user/MyDocs : Invalid argument
