Slow filetransfer Ubuntu => Sansa E260

<< < (2/3) > >>

LambdaCalculus:
By default, Linux (and any Unix) will consider any files or folders beginning with a . to be "hidden" files. So you may still have the .rockbox folder on your player, but you just can't see it normally.

If you run "ls -al" in a terminal (without the quotes), you should be able to see if the folder is there or not.

Yep I know how the hidden files work :) I'm using linux for a couple of years now.
It's really not there anymore.
Just been playing with fsck.vfat:

---------------
sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdd1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
Differences: (offset:original/backup)
  71:53/4e, 72:61/4f, 73:6e/20, 74:73/4e, 75:61/41, 76:20/4d, 77:65/45
  , 78:32/20, 79:36/20, 80:30/20
  Not automatically fixing this.
/dev/sdd1: 402 files, 694691/974659 clusters
------------
I might change the boot sector. I have the option between 1) Copy original to backup
or 2) Copy backup to original with fsck.vfat -r

I don't want to do any experimenting without some solid advise. This territory is too advanced for me.

[Edit]

Just also tried to add a file and install the latest firmware from sandisk. The same situation as with linux, it appears everything is transfered and ok. After reboot none of the files are present.

Also tried to format, but even that fails... (message can't finish format in Windows)

Is this my last option? http://fixmysansa.blogspot.com.  If that is the case then I probably have a new worldrecord in bricking an E260.

[Edit 2] Had some nice chat on IRC but nobody could help me. Just remembered something else that I thought was strange. On the E260 was a directory (music) with songs on it. These songs were visible in the OF but not in rockbox. I deleted the directory in Linux, but the directory re-appeared after rebooting in OF without any files in it.
 
[Edit 3] and another test. I tried to install the new sansa bootloader and also uninstall the bootloader. http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=22130.0 Failed in both cases.

Maybe formatting using these instructions will have better results than using Windows.

Yes also done that. Doesn't work as well, hangs in the writing image step after formating.
After rebooting nothing has changed. I'm beginning to think this is a hardware issue.

I have returned my previous E260 and just received a 'new' refurbished E260. The same problem occurs with this device. Very very slow filetransfer.
Because I am really afraid I will break the flash memory (and my E260) again, so I started using a small micro sd card (1 GB).

Also very bad filetransfer rates. I am going to try to transfer some bigger files with the OF in a couple of minutes. Still need to wait 20 minutes to transfer 200 Mb. On my previous E260 I interrupted file transfer and after that my device became 'read only' and useless...

My question is this. Could Rockbox be responsible for breaking my previous E260? If so, what can I do to prevent it from happening again, now I see the same symptoms with another E260.
