Hello,
  I replay to my own email to improve some of its contents.

Hello everyone and thanks to all QtMoko developers/contributors: it is a great distribution!

Anyway, on NAND, since v32, I have some problem with the NAND FS: it became corrupted and hard to recover.
I talk with gena2x who suggested me that the reason of these corruptions could be bad blocks in NAND memory: that made me remember that, some time ago, I "probably" erased my factory partition instead of the kernel one :-) Looking at [1] I did not find a way to make a new one, have you got some hints?

The first time it happened the involved files were in /opt and I was able to recover de-installing and re-installing QtMoko via apt-get. Now the problematic files are in /usr/share/openmoko and, maybe, somewhere else I've not seen. I'm not able to remove and overwrite them nor to mount the NAND with mount -t ubifs so I've no idea on how to recover the system.
Looking at [2] I was able to mount the root NAND partition, but with no further improvements of FS status :-(

Any hint is very appreciated!

As a rescue option I'd like to backup all config file in order to restore my setting so I'm here to ask you: which are these files and how can I restore them? I suppose that I have to backup

neo:/home/root# find . -name "*sql*"
./Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite
./Applications/qtopiamail/qtopia_db.sqlite

Other ones?
Even if the partition status is now worst and I'm not sure I can recover any file :-(


Thank you very much
  Giacomo
