Topic: iRiver H120 low disk space warning

[stantheman1976]

Recording with my Rockboxed iRiver this morning I am getting low disk space warnings.  The recorder shows 126MB free space but there is actually over 8GB free.  This is the first time it's happened.  Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I answered my own question in a way.  I went to system info and let it rescan free disk space and it shows normal now.

to avoid this message, always delete files on the iriver itself and not through your usb connected computer.

That must be what happened.  I usually delete files through Windows Explorer.  Thanks.

This has been a well known problem on the iriver. What you did is what you need to do to fix it.

it is a well known problem when using windows as they (sometimes) fail to recalculate the free disk space.... And RockBox does not automatically do that - it would only consume more battery.

The strange thing is that this does not always happen....


Oh and the bug where RockBox fails to write the recording properly and causes a minor disk corruption (no data lost) is not completely fixed, I'm still hunting the bug whenever I manage to find some time... Raw import and chkdsk /f do the trick
