Disabling Sansa e200 firmware's obnoxious database refreshing

<< < (4/7) > >>

Chronon:
Well, it should be very easy to test whether changing my firmware version to that one deterministically produces an endless boot cycle as you suggest.  I will test that proposition when I can.

Are you referring to the SansaFAQ page?  I don't see any such table there.

robin0800:
This is for the c200.
I am not in a position to comment on E200 but as the problem exists in C200 I would not be surprised if E200 also suffers from firmware anomalies.

MarcGuay:
I have no idea what you guys are talking about at this point.  I got the impression that ThaCrip was saying that making his e200 SYSTEM folder read-only caused a problem that was only repairable via recovery mode. 

Perhaps it would be wise to merge the c200 port page "troubleshooting" section into the SansaFAQ so it's all in one place and easier to discuss.

Chronon:
Thanks Marc.  I had thought that ThaCrip was referring to the procedure on the wiki as causing his reboot problems.  I had somewhat overlooked ryran's comment about making that directory read-only (a bit tired at the time  :-\ ).  That definitely injects some clarity into this.

That read-only trick is mentioned for the c200 in the SansaFAQ page as a way to accomplish the disabling of database rebuilding, not for the e200s.  It will be easy to test that doing this on the e200 produces the behavior that ThaCrip reported.  In such case a note in the FAQ would be helpful.

I'm still confused about the table in the FAQ that robin0800 referred to, though.

MarcGuay:
I believe s/he's referring to the firmware table on the c200 port page in the wiki.  Which lead me to feel that it should be merged with the FAQ.  :)

Or maybe device-specific information should remain on the individual port pages and not in the more general FAQ.
