Rockbox taking forever to mount on Mac OS X

mckickflip:
hey, i just installed rockbox on my ipod and i like it. however, whenever i hook it up to one of my macs, it can take over 5 minutes to mount. what's the deal with this? i'm running the latest version of tiger and it never takes this long for any other fat32 formatted drives to mount.

Llorean:
Rockbox reboots into the iPod's emergency disk mode. Any long times aren't our fault, as you're in Apple's firmware at that point.

fatherfork:
I'm not sure why it takes so long, but mine does exactly the same thing. I've found that the wait is lessened somewhat by booting into the original apple firmware before connecting to the computer. There's no reason for it to take less time this way, but for some reason it does.

It's not Rockbox causing the slow mount, it's Disk Mode.

mckickflip:
is there a different way to boot that would make it faster?

fatherfork:
I gave you the only alternative.
