Falafel:
Couldn't you, to find it or something, make a file with a specific pattern in it. put it on the "removable disk" and then search for that pattern in the connected disk with 010?
Edit:
As I'm obviously overlooking the fact that you can't find the partition when you connect it, consider that a not-so-useful-post ;). Unless I'm mistaken of course..

Even if I did, the place where the file would be stored differ a lot between all the ZVM's off all users, so this wouldn't be an ideal solution.
+ there's the fact that the file is spread across several clusters which are described in the cluster bitmap (if I understand correctly), which makes it even more harder to track down the whole file.

hey mate good work mcuelenaere there no way yet to put rockbox on without takeing it apart yet? just wondering You have done a great job.
mophead740:
just what would be required to get rb working on the zvm with a cfs partition?
coding, reformatting of the code, changing of drivers, im not sure i understand what this involves.
im sure if it was anything you could do then you would have done it, but maybe its something i can research.
btw, wen i say reformat the player i mean, plug in your player and go to the media explorer. then select settings and information, click tools and then there is an option to format the player.
so, anyway to backend this app to format it as fat or not.
i think not because it seems to me as if the software simply sends the instruction to the player to format the drive and the player reboots and does it, in which case its not likey that the players fw would have instructions to format as fat.
but it was just an idea.
edit: would it be smart to try and run the original fw on a fat partition.
i assume it couldnt have any permanent effect (as you could simply plug in the drive and reformat it if it didnt work). What says it couldn't run fine?

Understanding of the CFS file system (I believe it is based on BFS; quetzalcoatl on nomadness.net found out a lot of interesting stuff and he even made a fully working read-only driver for the first (minifs) partition, but unfortunately the site is now online and most of his information on the forums is lost (except in google cache, archive.org) + there seems to be no way of contacting/finding this person :(
I tried contacting the website owner, but failed. I also contacted a guy who he spoke with on the forums (and who is a main developer at libnjb), but he doesn't have any contacting information.

I think you're right on this one.

I could try it, but I'm pretty certain the OF won't recognize it and will crash or something like that.

I'm sorry, but no; not at the moment.
The only thing you could do is compile the bootloader and find out how the USB chip works.
