Sansa Fuze memory

AlexP:
Yes, all those folders.  Rockbox doesn't take the space, so you must have some additional files on there somewhere.

bluebrother:
You could also have lost clusters in the FAT. Try running chkdsk /f on Windows or fsck.vfat on Linux.

I deleted ##MUSIC# and ##PORT#, which freed up 113MB. I don't think I ran fsck.vfat correctly. I ran it as root, and my user, and this is what I got:
~$ fsck.vfat -av /media/SANSA\ FUZE/
dosfsck 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)
dosfsck 3.0.9, 31 Jan 2010, FAT32, LFN
open: Is a directory

And for root, same thing:
~# fsck.vfat -av /media/SANSA\ FUZE/
dosfsck 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)
dosfsck 3.0.9, 31 Jan 2010, FAT32, LFN
open: Is a directory

Now I have a little more space, but I still don't know where the other 0.7GB is.   ???


Also, when booting into OF, it freezes on "Refreshing database". I don't know if this has any bearing on my problem, but I thought it might be important.

AlexP:
You need to run it on the device, so unmount the sansa then run as root

fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdxN

replacing sdxN with the partition of interest, e.g. sdb1

The OF failing to refresh its db could also indicate a damaged file system.

Here's the results:
# fsck.vfat -av /dev/sdb
dosfsck 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)
dosfsck 3.0.9, 31 Jan 2010, FAT32, LFN

Also, the ##MUSIC# and ##PORT# folders have been recreated, for no apparent reason.
