Random Sansa Clip+ freezes

(1/2) > >>

Plunk:
Hi everyone.

My Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ has been randomly freezing a lot lately, generally while playing songs. Sometimes it also gets stuck on the startup screen ("scanning disk"), sometimes it does not even see the micro SD card. These problems seem to only occur when I'm listening to music that's on the micro SD card and they keep happening even though I've reinstalled Rockbox on the device, so I think it's not coming from the software. It might be caused by either the SD cards I use or the SD port. How can I know for sure?

Thanks

gevaerts:
Check the filesystem (both internal and the sd card) for corruption.

Plunk:
How can I do that?

saratoga:
Depends on your operating system, but if you google "[operating system name] check disk for errors" you'll probably find directions. 

In windows, most versions let you do it by right clicking on the disk under My Computer. 

__builtin:
In case you're using Linux, it's
--- Code: ---fsck
--- End code ---
, standing for "filesystem check".
First MAKE SURE YOUR CLIP+ IS NOT MOUNTED, then run
--- Code: ---sudo fsck /dev/[PARTITION_NAME_HERE]
--- End code ---
, where PARTITION_NAME_HERE is the name of your partition you want to check.
To check both the internal flash and SD, run the above command on both partitions (probably called /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb2).
