FS#8733 - Database refresh causing system crash

I was updating my database yesterday evening, while listening to music. The plaback started jumping tracks, and I supposed it was beacause my Gigabeat's disk was being used. However, few seconds after, rockbox started displaying messages saying "codec for "xxx" cannot be found". I went to the debug screen to see how far the database refresh process was. It showed -1%, although the number of files scanned actually increased. Then the system crased and showed :
– *Panic*
Dir entry 9 in sec
tor 0 is not free
54 41 42 41
– I finally managed to restart the player, but a "firmware not found" screen showed up. I did a chkdsk can on the drive which showed errors, fixed them, installed rockbox back and everything is working properly now.

To avoid such a problem, why would'nt not to just update the database in normal mode rather than in background mode, and forbid access to the player until database refresh is complete ?

Take support to the forum or IRC.

I don't think the database update caused the disk errors. It actually seems more like the disk errors were there before and the update suffered from it.

Still, refreshing the database causes disk usage which slows down access to music files. Would it be possible to create an option to have a database refresh in high priority ?
