Yeah, it reports 0 Mb free, whereas original iRiver firmware and windows both report 9807 Mb free in the single FAT32 partition. For me that's the usual situation because I regularly avoid filling any disk above 50-70% of total capacity.

Or, Rockbox can assume there isn't free space when there is because Windows hasn't properly updated file tables of some sort (I personally don't know much about this aspect, so I don't really get it, but my mind summarized it to 'windows doesn't always handle things right' which to me is a perfectly acceptable cause)

I don't trust windows either, so after scanning the disk for errors with scandisk I resorted to PQmagic.... and it said there existed 'cross-linked files' in the volume but can't correct for the error. Now I face the hard decission of either re-format (and hopefully solve the issue) or stick to a build with no AGC. Anyway, shi* happens!
A lot of thanks for your input, guys
Llorean:
And the continued 0mb free was *after* a rescan (which isn't just browsing to that part of the screen, but clicking the stick, which will then cause it to tell you it's scanning and take several seconds.)
Anyway, it sounds like you've found the cause. I don't know what to say. =/
whatboutbob:
A couple of times now (once each with rockbox @ iriver f/w) my free space has been misreported by several gig. 'tis a real pain in the arse when you can't record because of it.
I couldn't figure it out, so I formatted the disk and all was well. The problem doesn't seem to arise when I use the delete function within rockbox. *shrug*
evilnick:
Have you tried running the disktidy plugin to make sure there are no files lurking in the recycle bin?
qpwoei:
OK, problem solved!! I did NOT format, yet free space is read correctly (either rockbox rescanned at last - thanx Llorean - or PQmagic somehow fixed it. Dunno, but rockbox declares i can record for 16 hours so I'm happy :)
Did I mention this AGC is wonderful? Well, it IS!
A great THANKS to all of you for helping, your the best!
