Details

This happens on my Sansa e280v1 with r31634-120108

I wanted to record something using the inbuilt microphone. The menu "RB Info" tells me there is space on the internal card:

132MB/7.45GB

When I start the recording, and then stop it while the WRS screen shows about 50KB, I get the message "Disk is full. Press PREV to continue."

After that, there is no recorded file. (The file should be created in the root directory of the internal card; WRS shows "Filename: /./R_MIC...")

But there IS space on the card! I could copy a file (via USB) of size 100 KB without problems.

So I think something is fishy in the recording code.

Is this somehow related to FS#7721?
This task depends upon

IIRC it depends on the chosen encoder and rockbox is making sure there's enough space for XX seconds.

This happens with both MP3 and WAV encoder.

This is probably  FS#12500

Yes, I can confirm that if I set the recording directory to something else than the default ("/") the recorded file is created. It's a pity I didn't know that before and so missed a very interesting moment! :-/

echo "rec path: /" >> d:\.rockbox\config.cfg
fixes the problem.

Not so fast Alexander. There is no default in config.cfg. And the default isn't "/". It is "/./," which indeed has no available space, since it isn't a valid directory.

I admit, that with the default being "/" was a speculation of me.
