Question about using rockbox for audio and original firmware for video- ipod 5g

<< < (6/11) > >>

mrufino1:
It has been running for about 15 minutes on this try, but there does nto seem to be anything happening- the hard drive light on my computer is not doing anything. Maybe autorepair does take a while. My concern is that I have to leave and my laptop (where it is currently connected) has some overheating issues, so if I leave it I may come home and it will have shut down (but then again , maybe not- it is unpredicatble). I guess I have no choice but to try to leave it running and check tonight.

Chronon:
I have no idea what state your file system is in.  If it is very badly damaged you are probably better off reformatting and going from there.

cool_walking_:
If you do a format, I would suggest doing a bad block check as well. This will flag any physically damaged parts of the disk as "out-of-bounds", and make sure nothing gets written there.

mrufino1:
How would I go about doing that? Is that a utility in itunes when I restore the ipod? That probably sounds like it is what is needed, and what I thought the fsck was going to do.

cool_walking_:
D'oh, sorry. Just add the "-t" option to fsck.vfat - i.e. sudo fsck.vfat -at /dev/sdd2

Yes, the command can take a while.  The bigger the hard drive, and the more things wrong, the longer it takes.

If you're in a hurry and it's still going, you can interrupt it with ctrl-C.
