Slow filetransfer Ubuntu => Sansa E260

<< < (3/3)

Chronon:
I haven't seen reports of Rockbox's USB mode causing problems since it was enabled and I haven't experienced problems, myself.  Slower transfer speeds (compared to the OF) are to be expected, but this obviously doesn't explain your previous trouble.  You are also seeing much lower transfer rates than you should get, even with the OF.  Maybe some factor like a bad cable/port is giving flaky connection while you are trying to move data.  Intermittent disconnection while mounted as a UMS device can lead to file system damage as well, which seems consistent with some of your previous symptoms.

Thanks, I have experienced more problems after this comment and I think my cable could indeed be the problem. I saw  connect + disconnect messages during file transfer and connection breaks sometimes. 
Will not use usb connection to store anything on my e260 again... I am using a cardreader to write directly to the sd card.
 
So my problem still is not solved, but I will buy a new cable to see if this helps. For now I will not modify internal memory. Better safe than sorry
