Database seems to be endlessly building [SOLVED]

[Antan]

I have been trying to get my SDHC card working with rockbox for a long time now, searching through posts reinstalling rockbox, the works. 

It's  still not working.  And I am getting some what frustrated.

I have Version 3.2-090323

Currently I have one mp3 file that I know that works on the internal memory.  That seems to play fine the database builds and finds the file perfectly fine.  I also have one known mp3 file on the SDHC card.  But when I go to update the database it seems to endlessly build the database. 

This is the message I get when trying to go to the database "Building database... 811232 found (PREV to return)."  I've been letting it sit for a few minutes know and that 800000+ number just keeps getting bigger and bigger. 

Any ideas?

You might want to check the file system on the SD card for errors - folk in the past have had directory entries pointing to directories higher up in the path creating a loop

Aha!

Thank you for the input.  My current only way of using an SDHC card was using my oder MP3 player as an SDHC reader.  After putting music on there t would update the database on there and change the format. 

When I stuck the card in my friends computer (he has an SDHC reader built in) I had to format it because it was unreadable.  After putting some music on the card using his computer it worked i my Sansa e260 perfectly fine.

Thank you for getting me to think about it the right way!

I have a c240 and have been using a rockbox build with USB support (that was not in the 3.2 release that you seem to have) with no problems - admittedly I have a faily static set of files on there (no regular podcast downloads).

No need for an external card reader, folk have said it is a bit slower but I can't judge as I don't have a non HC card to use with the original firmware.
