Sansa Clip Zip and 32GB microSDHC, Not detecting ALL files on microsd

(1/2) > >>

sebelius:
I have Rockbox 3.13 installed on my device Sansa Clip Zip.
Also, i have an external 32GB micro SDHC card of which is formatted to the filesystem type FAT32.
There is about 20GB of space occupied, mostly music files on the SDHC CARD.
On my GNU/Linux machine i can mount this card when i plug in my Sansa Clip Zip via USB, and access All the files on it.
However, from within Rockbox itself (running on the device) i seem only to be able to access a tiny fragment of all the files on the micro SDHC card.

Now this is interesting as Rockbox seems only to let me access a portion of all the files though the directory tree, but when i build the database it clearly recognizes that there's more than 20000 songs totally on the device.
This is displayed through the message box that pops up when you build the database.

Summary:
1.Not able to access all files on the micro SDHC card through the directory tree nor the 'built' database.
2.The build-database message box says it has found over 20000 songs, but only a tiny portion of them are accessible through the database. (the same applies for the directory tree, only a portion of the files are accessible/displayed).
3.Can access all files perfectly fine on my GNU/Linux machine.

saratoga:
I would look at whats special about the files you can access vs. the ones you cannot.  Maybe that will give you some clue whats going on. 

FWIW, there is no rockbox 4.0.

sebelius:
The version is corrected (i have the latest firmware 3.13).
Thanks for the advice. I will experiment by removing, re-adding a different set of files to see whether or not is is in fact the files that there is something wrong with (which i doubt), or maybe i will discover that there's a fixed size of files i can access.
Assuming Rockbox will only allow me to access a fixed size of files, what could be the cause of this?
Maybe some settings that can be changed via menu (to allow more files) or maybe a flag inside the firmware?

saratoga:
There is a limit of 400 files in any directory (configurable up to 10,000) in the file browser.  This won't effect the database though, just the ability to view large directories in the browser itself.  Otherwise there are no limits. 

sebelius:
I can confirm that the problem is not with the files. As i can now access some of the files that i could not before, after i removed the old and re-added new ones (that were previously inaccessible).
I will try to add more files. I predict the outcome to be that i can access some of the files, but not all. And that the ones that i can access will be in random order of what they were added in (just as last time). Maybe this is a file system problem? Do you know anything about that?
Or maybe as ridiculous as this sounds, i cannot add too many files at once?
