Absolutely, but I would highly recommend to unmount the damaged fs
before checking anyway. And then the remaining /media/mmc* can be used
for swap (assuming you didn't produce simultaneous corruption, or you
fixed the one on the external card on your computer already).

Yes, it seems to be quite greedy for the internal card with the Map data
on it.
