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

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?

Looking at [2] I was able to mount the root NAND partition, but with no 
further improvements of FS status :-(

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