I am running CVS 20060717 with SONY SBM as an outboard A/D (@44.1 WAV). I recorded a long set the other day (2hour 15min).....there is one passage where you can hear 5-7 seconds of music missing. Happened just once as far as I can tell....about 42-43 minutes into the recording. The HD was maybe 10G full from stuff I recorded from Fuji Rock and Metamorphose, no MP3s or extraneous files...never had an issue before. This is a H120 that I replaced the HD and battery myself. I am stunned and sort of feeling badly about selling my JB3!
What are people setting the HD spin up time and other general settings variables that could help alleviate the problem? I have another H120, that has not done this yet. Again, this is a one off thing...never had it happen before.

The harddisk you replaced, was this a new one? Did you buy the player second-hand because it was broken? Was the battery charged ok?
I'm certainly going to test this to verify everything is ok

This is a pretty old build. Please try the newest CVS build. Although there were several serious bugs in the recording code recently.
As Petur said the problem could also be caused by a faulty harddisk (long spin up time, long seek time - shaking with the player?...).

Today one bug which could cause missing parts of recorded sound was probably fixed. See also FS #5952 (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5952).

New HD MK2004GAL verfified and tested for bad sectors w/ chk dsk. Â I should format the disk again and verify this, though. Â The player had a bad HD in it but looked like it was hardly used (the remote was still in the wrapper), not a scratch on the body. Â I got the previous owner to kick in $100 for a new HD, which I bot along with a replacement ipod 2g batt. Â
I have used this H120 pretty extensively. Â 8 hours at Fuji Rock, 5 hours at Metamorphose Festy...a few hours doing in-stores and a friend's jazz performance. Â No problems, I have listened to all those recording and not noticed a glitch. Â Taped about 3.5 hours yesterday and I noticed this.
I have another H120 (used too but the HD verified ok with chk dsk)...I have only used it for 8 hours total...no problems. Â I really hope I can resolve this.
These are the settings I have for the Disk:
Disk Spindown: 5s
Disk Poweroff: No
Directory cache: No
Should I be setting things up differently in the general settings?
The player was in a bag on the ground. Also, it was running out of a mod Edirol UA-5, not a mod SBM. Sorry.

Ouch! I completely misread that date, thinking it was september 17 - just a few days ago.
Yes, do move on to a more recent build
These are the settings I have for the Disk:
Disk Spindown: 5s
Disk Poweroff: No
Directory cache: No
these are mine:
Disk Spindown: 5s
Disk Poweroff: Yes
Directory cache: Yes
It shouldn't really matter, disk poweroff will save you more battery and dirctory cache will speed up things a bit when browsing.
