Damaged Internal Phone Storage

Help..!!
Just deleted some old folders that I had in the phone storage & moved all the pics to the SD card, now I cannot access the internal storage and get "Damaged Internal Phone storage"? Was connected on "USB Mass Storage" on an Ubuntu pc if that makes any difference.
All apps that were saved to SD are of course gone..
Any clue?
Edit: Titanium Backup made a back-up this morning, will I be able to re-install all the apps if I format the internal storage? Do I want to format the internal storage?
Edit 2: Titanium backup is gone too..
Edit 3: Internal Phone Storage is unmounted, phone cannot mount it.
Do I just format the damn thing, is it defect..?

[Q] wasting space sdcard & externalSDcard

Hello.
I just bought a MicroSD, and saw on ESExplorer that the phone mounts the externalSD inside the sdcard folder /sdcard/external_sd
That way, it thinks I only have 11.5Gb available and everything I put inside my external_sd actually fills the internal memory.
I should have 11.5+8=19.5 but I don't.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks a lot!
I can't believe no one has a Galaxy S2 with an external Sd card!

Settings menu/storage and did you format it there first? Or do you use Kies and what is it using for sending stuff to your memory (Internal or External First?)
In settings/storage do you see both cards? In mine I can see SD card 29.81gb & USB storage 11.5gb.
Yes it shows the external card folder in the internal file explorer. It doesn't mean files are saved on the internal card. It was also like that on the S1 as well.
When you connect to PC in USB mode the PC will show both cards separately.

external_sd is just the mount point. You will only have ~12gb available on your internal memory because the phone uses some memory for the OS. I only have 7.4gb usable on my 8gb external sd. The available memory is always smaller than advertised

USB storage? Internal? And sd card

Hi
I have in a long time wondering what USB storage are used for ,and which apps are being installed there and were apps are moved when moving to the as card.
and why is there not just one big storage and the sd card. I think it is a bit confusing
I have also looked in storage in settings and then under USB storage and other files, the external sd card is shown as something which takes space,why that?

internal sd is the flash memory of your phone
external sd is the physical micro sd card
and usb storage is use with your attached a flasg drive into your s2 using otg cable.

You have to mount the sd card to get the media scanner to read the sd card.
Settings>storage>sd card>mount sd card.
Mount or unmount and mount to force the scan.

[Q] USB Storage not mounting.

I just flashed a new ROM on my galaxy S2 GT-I9100... But the USB storage is not mounting. I have inserted an SD card ( 2GB ) .. But instead of showing the SD card in the external storage, it is showing it in the internal storage. My 16GB internal storage is gone.. How can I mount my SD card to external storage and get back my internal 16GB Storage.... ????

The sd card is mounted as a folder and its shown as a folder in internal memory (that aint a problem since if you copy anything into that folder you are copying into the sd card) , and if you are saying that only the sd card is getting mounted and being used instead of internal memory enable root access for aps and adb in settings - developer options, this will mount internal as /mnt/eMMc and if you want to change the default storage go to storage settings press settings button and change from storage configuration, and please include more information like rom type, os version and many other relevant information if you want people to help.
