Do you get any error messages (copy and paste them), if you try to fsck the partition?
Please no conky, images or vague description, just shell output.
Code:
#fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1 fsck 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008) dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN Logical sector size is zero.

Okay... I flashed my phone (not the 27GB part). Now I can connect the phone to my pc again, but Windows says the volume is damaged. I'm trying now to recover my files with a Windows tool. But no files found so far...
Thanks anyway for your help.

was busy sending an important e-mail
if it is not mounted because of an error it can't be unmounted of course.
BEFORE screwing it up even more w/ m@ke$$h!t LostDOS, try following (after disconnecting it from your PC)
Code:
root fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1
(you should be able to open this thread with the microb browser on your N900)

#fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Logical sector size is zero.
If you have anything really, really important on the partition you should make a clone copy of the device /dev/mmcblk0p1 to some external storage. From a linux system, either Live-CD or installed system with at least 28 GB free storage available, it would be as root
Code:
mount /dev/SomePartition /mnt dd if=/dev/YourN900'sFirstPartition of=/mnt/SomeClearName.dd_image bs=4096
Code:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=512 count=1 skip=6

This error makes recovery of files nearly impossible, because even testdisk might need some kind of file system information for the data it should try to get from the partition.

If things are saved, or you still have the files already copied before, this would write a copy of the superblock of a FAT32 filesystem only backCode:mount /dev/SomePartition /mnt dd if=/dev/YourN900'sFirstPartition of=/mnt/SomeClearName.dd_image bs=4096
Note: If that is failing [check with the above fsck code] there is no way back but to rewrite the image your before took, or to knowingly wipe the partition and format it.Code:dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=512 count=1 skip=6

You might try to get that file with testdisk faster than with a clone copy of the whole device. Here is some basic info on testdisk usage: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=16

(question to others: Does Maemo's fsck produce any error messages at all?)
