Folders and Files mysteriously being removed? (clip+)
spiderlance:
Alright, thats okay. well after formatting and using the safely remove device option, the problem still occurs.
the first time I add songs works fine, everything shows up.
the second time, I add the songs wait for the copy, safely remove. and they are not on the card, next time I plug the card back in, they are gone.
I might have to resort to copying all my music at once. which is annoying. it wont let me copy more music, if I want to copy more music I will have to reformat and start again. which is balls. I used rockbox on my iriver H320 many years ago and I remember it being an awesome firmware that I never had any problems with.
Any other ideas?
Chronon:
Maybe you have a bad card. Is there any difference in behavior if you load files onto the card with a card reader?
This doesn't seem to be a problem with Rockbox since you see the same sort of behavior with the original firmware.

did you check the filesystem for errors? On Windows use chkdsk /f x: from a cmd.exe window (replace x: with the correct drive letter), on Linux fsck.vfat. If the card has errors safely ejecting it won't magically fix them, and with filesystem errors any weird behaviour can occur.
Chronon:
I'm pretty sure spiderlance has formatted and has been safely removing/unmounting since then.
spiderlance:
hey guys, havnt had much time lately, but I ran a chkdsk just now and there wasnt any errors. I also tried copying the files onto the card with a normal card reader and it worked fine, so it would seem it's not a problem with the card. I'd say it's most likely a problem with the official firmware after I've added songs to the card and it does that "Refreshing your media" stuff.
EDIT:
okay I have had a bit of luck, and I don't know why I didnt try this sooner, I was copying my folders into the "MUSIC" folder on the SD card, this time I just copied them to the root folder, I have added songs a few times now and nothing has gone missing yet. "refreshing your media" seems to replace the "MUSIC" with the subfolders "AUDIOBOOKS" and "PODCASTS", so it probably does other things too (like delete your files). not sure if this is a bug but it might be worth investigating.
