Sansa Fuze randomly unmounts on OSX

Chronon:
I'm not familiar with that option with fsck, so I can't offer advice about that.  I'm not sure it's necessary but formatting the device (using Sandisk's firmware) should be sufficient.

You're running the wrong fsck program.  The one for FAT32 is typically called fsck.vfat on Linux.

Consulting the man page, fsck is just a front-end for the other programs so it should also work in principle.  I guess you need to specify the file system type when running this way, though.

fsck_msdos (I'm on mac, not linux), but it doesn't seem to do much, I get this:


** /dev/disk1
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories
** Phase 3 - Checking for Orphan Clusters
1119 files, 1908000 KiB free (59625 clusters)

The man page had very little in it so I don't know if I need to run some more options to get it to make repairs. How likely is it that this is actually causing it to hang?
Post Merge: March 24, 2011, 03:01:50 PMAn update. I ran fsck.vfat on my linux machine. It was more helpful than fsck_msdos, but the sansa still freezes up and dismounts on fedora just like OSX.

Machete234:
Same happens to me in Windows 7 (64bit)
Since I boot in the OF before doing file transfers I dont have this issue anymore.

But booting into OF is suboptimal because the player allways wants to rebuild the database when I unplug it.
