As a backup, take a printout of this thread with you.

And that if this community says the phone is broken, it is -- and the reason this thread was this long is that the community hates to give up until such is proven.

This is a good advice. I will do this. i have called nokia support. and the technical department will call me back about this issue.

I also will try now to run mkfs.vfat to see if this gives me any fault. any fault i will print out and bring it to them.



and the reason this thread was this long is that the community hates to give up until such is proven.

ofcourse i will keep you people posted about the progress in this case.

Wow. I am impressed about the amount of work and support people gave on this issue.

Now as an outsider trying to get into the world of N900 and to find information and learn more I am just wondering is there a place in the community wiki where these kind of instructions for debugging and information gathering could be placed for future reference a'la knowledge base?

Trying to just browse through talk is hard job for anyone :-D

i dismounted the vfat partition. runned mkfs.vfat on the partition.

i also put the flag to check for bad blocks before creating the filesystem. no errors were found and the filesystem was created. when i run ckfs.vfat i found out that half the clusters are shown in the test. then i rebooted the phone i run df -h and sees that still the 32 gb s are aviable. strange....

i know you already tried mkfs.vfat, but i just wanted to know - how long did you wait?

fsck can take quite some time to complete...
happened to me once, i forgot to unmount the N900 before disconnecting after copying ~15GB, and most of that space was lost. fsck took ages (an hour or more) to complete, but it did, and it recovered every "lost" sector.

I won't ever consider someone who starts a thread like this anything else than a tr0ll.

There are less disruptive ways of asking and getting help than starting a thread with a title like this.

LOL! LaughingStok has made you the laughing stock of the forum! Seriously speaking, I think most of the forum members will agree that the N900 isn't really too end user friendly. Perhaps you should consider selling that N900 to someone else, and buy an iPhone. Sooner or later Nokia will release a noob friendly device based on the efforts of the N900 community and developers that you can operate.

if another one claims this issue positive, or is experiencing this same issue, the n900 will like be one of most devices that has several faults.
