I believe that option was removed from rockbox a few months ago when the file system was reworked.

soundman:
I think it's gone into a "grounded vindaloop" of some kind. I never should have let Butters borrow it.

ulmutul:
I also have the "spindown"-issue. For me, it presents this way (I don't use the database):

(1) When I select a file (or a plugin), I get an error message, the disk begins to spin. When I re-select the file while the disk is spinning, the file loads normally. (And sometimes everything works fine at the first time.)
EDIT: If I get the error message, I get it immediately and the disk DON'T spin up. When I try a second time (within a short time), the disk spins up and work as it should.
(2) When using usb file transfer with rockbox, I sometimes get the message (windows) that the drive must be formatted. When I abort, all files show up normally and I can continue without any problems.
(3) I get a *Panic* mount: 0 message when disconnecting from usb after file transfer
(4) I (rarely) get a dc_writeback_callback() panic ("Could not write sector") (e.g. when the device is shooting down/RB tries to write config file)
(5) I never had any issues when transferring files via OF bootloader UMS mode.

This issue doesn't have a high priority for me as I can get on with it, and I'm dealing with other devices at the moment, but I'll work on this when I find some time.

I think it's a matter of the disk drive, maybe different versions or just slow or faulty individual drives.
To me it looks like rockbox should give it just a bit more time to spin up and respond before reporting an error.

BTW: back says: HDD6320/00

EDIT: wrong guess, see (1)! The error occurs BEFORE the disk spins, preventing it from doing so. As soon as the disk starts to rotate, everything just works.

FIX TO BOOTLOADER ERROR:

I TOO HAVE THIS PROBLEM IT IS SOMETHING WITH THE ROCKBOX UTILITY. IF YOU INSTALL THE BOOTLOADER MANUALLY ON THE MANUAL INSTALL PAGE AND COPY THAT FILE TO THE PLAYER IT BOOTS FINE

Hi:


I'm owner of HDD6320/17.

I also faced the problem with the installation error of the firmware bootloader via RockBox Utility. Agree on some web server problem. My workaround is using the RockboxUtility for everything but for the installation of the bootloader, and then grab the file from http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gogear/hdd6330/ , create a "System" directory and copy the file (FWImage.ebn) there manually.


Now, for the hard stuff:

I'm getting continuous Panic errors (could not write sector ....) with no apparent rule for replicating them. Sometimes after finishing playing an album, sometimes when the device goes to sleep, sometimes when powering off by hand...

I've re-checked the disk with linux utilities finding no bad sectors on disk.
I've tried making several partition setups for avoiding potential bad sectors:

- 30 GB FAT32 covering the whole disk.
- 4GB FAT32 only, at the begining of the disk
- 4GB FAT32 only, at the middle of the disk
- 4GB FAT32 only, at the end of the disk

I've tried different firmware builds (http://download.rockbox.org/daily/gogearhdd6330/ ).

I've tried setting different values for the Disk spindown parameter (5s, 60s, 120s, 250s) with no luck.

Any clue anyone ?

Thanks for the hard work.
