iPod 5G 60GB - intense HD activity

<< < (2/3) > >>

froggyman:
I have noticed that my ipod video 5.5G(30GB) does close to the same thing(with only moving when navigating through songs and doing things involving disk activity, so i wasnt conserned). The hard drive makes clicking noises and will spin noticably faster than it does for apple, but then again they run it at 66 mhz clock speed and can be ran at 75 mhz, safely!

but the same thing sometimes happens when i make big file transfers through the computer before rockbox was put on it(like big wikipedia dumps, being that i didnt have my 16gb flash drive on me, which i got for $30)

It's funny you should mention that because I had to reformat my iPod before I put rockbox on it and transfer all the music back on. I can't remember if I did this before or after I installed rockbox but I shouldn't think that matters anyway. I'm still managing all content through iTunes.

Did you install the "current build" or the 3.1 release?  If not the 3.1 release please install it and see if the symptoms continue.  If the 3.1 release please install a "current build" and see if they continue.

This sounds like you either haven't enabled "directory cache" or haven't loaded the database to RAM.

That's part of what I was querying about, but it doesn't explain continuous HDD spinning throughout playback.
