Slow filetransfer Ubuntu => Sansa E260

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

Just received my refurbished A260 v1 and installed rockbox right away. I've noticed it took a while for Ubuntu 8.10 to find the device and show its content.
After installing rockbox, I tried to send some files from PC to A260. It takes for ever to transfer though. It transfers in buckets of +-30 MB and then waits a while. Takes about 20 minutes to transfer 500 Mb.

My clip transfers a *lot* faster.

Any ideas?

You could try the retail firmware and see if its any faster.

Thanks!

With the retail firmware it does 4.2 MB/s so there seems to be a bug in Rockbox or bootloader. I am using the stable version of rockbox and the bootloader I downloaded from here. http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/sansapatcher/linux32x86/sansapatcher

Try updating rockbox to todays build and see if it improves.

tdb:
After transfering a huge directory (>1Gb) with the retail firmware and restarting, rockbox appeared with can't load rockbox.mi4 etc messages.
Mounting the E260 confirmed this, there was no .rockbox directory in the root directory. Completely vanished!
So I copied the latest build in the root directory and rebooted. Same result. No .rockbox directory.
I am wondering if my flash memory is corrupt and giving me a hard time.

Even recordings aren't saved...
