Simply try
fsck flash:
first. See what happens

it shows no such device when i wrote fsck flash:

when i remove the flash form the router and connect it to pc, i took a backup for file system and format it and return it back, and  still the same problem.

it solved by replacing the flash with another one and it worked fine.

thank for helping.

Hello,

 

odd indeed. What if you try to add the Vlan from the vlan databse:

 

TDJA-RT#vlan databse <ENTER>

TDJA-RT#vlan database
% Warning: It is recommended to configure VLAN from config mode,
as VLAN database mode is being deprecated. Please consult user
documentation for configuring VTP/VLAN in config mode.

TDJA-RT(vlan)#vla
TDJA-RT(vlan)#vlan 44
VLAN 44 added:
Name: VLAN0044
TDJA-RT(vlan)#exit
% not enough space on flash to store vlan database. trying squeeze...
% error squeezing flash - (No such device)
Error on database apply 40: NV storage failure
Use 'abort' command to exit
TDJA-RT(vlan)#abort
Aborting....
TDJA-RT#

 

same issue,

the problem with the storage (flash) don't know how to fix it.

 - I presume the initial error is due to a more fundamental problem with the complete flash , try fsck flash:  (do not omit the double column at the end)
