| 11:30:58 | speachy | mendel_munkis, I think the problem is due to the removal of the partition type filter, so rockbox is mounting the system partition instead. |
| 12:00 |
| 12:17:11 | speachy | huh, that's strange. Russian voice files are 3x the size of English. And Greek is >5x. |

| 15:46:44 | Strife89 | Ah, okay |

| 15:54:10 | speachy | my mini2g works but I have dumps from several others that fail. |
| 15:54:21 | speachy | trying to compare the boot sector to see what's what. |
| 15:55:50 | speachy | to set mine up I used the boot sector/etc off the RB wiki. |
| 15:55:58 | speachy | since mine came formatted for the mac out of the box |
| 16:00 |
| 16:16:23 | speachy | ok, I think I have a fix |
| 16:17:29 | speachy | We're not actually checking the fat32 fsinfo sector signature. |
| 16:18:12 | speachy | so I put in a check. on sane filessystems it will work. on the "b0rked superfloppy" with quasi-valid fat32 headers it should fail. |
| 16:19:43 | speachy | compiling it now to make sure it doesn't regress on my mini2g |
| 16:20:11 | speachy | Strife89, I can generate a build for you or send you a patch to try, what would you prefer? |

| 16:48:57 | speachy | either will work |
| 16:52:20 | speachy | hmm. looks like I should test both intead of just one. |
| 16:53:19 | Strife89 | Hmmm, it appears to be stuck on the Apple logo as I try to boot it |
| 16:54:00 | Strife89 | Tried again, it makes it to the Rockbox logo |
| 16:54:27 | speachy | hangs? |
| 16:54:43 | Strife89 | Seems it does. |
| 16:55:10 | speachy | ok. will have another one for you shortly. |
| 16:55:11 | Strife89 | Third boot attempt: Apple logo. |
| 16:55:18 | Strife89 | Okay |
| 16:56:14 | speachy | https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rb-ipodcolor-2d3c40cd.zip |
| 16:57:34 | speachy | (wouldn't have expected a hang at the apple logo..) |
| 16:59:02 | Strife89 | I'm praying that the old HDD was the source of corruption problems I was experiencing, and not an issue with the logic board or the HDD connector ... |
| 16:59:34 | speachy | though come to think of it, I did that build using a newer toolchain. that could still have issues on your device. |
| 17:00 |
| 17:00:02 | Strife89 | Ah, so there's a lot it could be |
| 17:00:26 | speachy | if this doesn't work I'll rebuild it with the "official" toolchain |

| 17:04:35 | speachy | ok, got a confirmation in the ticket that this patch supposedly worked on the ipodcolor |
| 17:04:52 | Strife89 | Crap, it's still hanging on the Apple logo |
| 17:05:10 | speachy | I'm in the middle of a rebuild with the old toolchain\ |
| 17:05:23 | Strife89 | Thank you |
| 17:06:00 | Strife89 | Third boot attempt made it to the Rockbox logo but very quickly dropped to a white text on black screen: |
| 17:06:10 | Strife89 | "No partition found. Insert USB cable and fix it." |
| 17:06:36 | speachy | this isn't code that would be nondeterministic. either it works, or it doesn't |
| 17:06:50 | speachy | https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rb-ipodcolor-0e49829800.zip |
| 17:07:18 | speachy | more likely that there's still some miscompiled/optmized code in the 4gcolor build. |
| 17:07:33 | Strife89 | I still wouldn't rule out problems with my HW |
| 17:08:49 | Strife89 | dmesg when I plug in the iPod, still on that "no partition" screen https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/jTlxEFRN/ |
| 17:09:38 | speachy | that's happening in "disk mode"? |
| 17:09:44 | Strife89 | No |
| 17:10:10 | speachy | that paste you showed is ... worrisome. |
| 17:10:19 | Strife89 | This is what I get in Disk Mode https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/ANm5Ylf5/ |
| 17:10:51 | speachy | so sector numbers are being misreported. |
| 17:12:04 | speachy | the partition table claims the disk is bigger than the actual disk capacity. |
| 17:12:31 | speachy | rockbox could be legitimately rejecting that. |

| 18:53:00 | speachy | it might help with the disk performance, by disabling use of ATA power management altgether. |
| 18:53:11 | Strife89 | Importantly, it loads as snappily as a "native" flash player |
| 18:53:28 | speachy | the iflash adapters claim to not support power management, in spite of it being a mandatory part of the ATA spec since the beginning |
| 18:53:28 | Strife89 | I'll still try that build, though |
| 18:54:07 | Strife89 | I think I still have a bunch of corrupt(?) files and directories, despite having run fsck on the drive |
| 18:54:45 | Strife89 | Or at least files, because entering one of my previously "empty" directories now works fine |
| 18:56:03 | Strife89 | Trying to play an album in /Music/Video Games/ since that was one of the "empty" ones |
| 18:57:14 | Strife89 | It took roughly 6 seconds to switch to the WPS after I clicked on a file, and it's not playing any of them. It moves to the next track ("X of 34") after roughly 6 seconds |
| 18:57:31 | speachy | welcome to the iflash wonkiness. |
| 18:58:16 | Strife89 | Figures that I'd have to learn the hard way about how poor an experience this is. |
| 18:58:54 | Strife89 | I thought I'd be fine because I ordered the model with one SD slot, instead of four microSD slots |
| 19:00 |
| 19:01:47 | Strife89 | Are there better flash options out there that don't cost a ton? |
| 19:12:21 | speachy | the CF stuff is a lot more reliable, because it's native ATA. |
| 19:12:36 | speachy | but pricier, naturally. |
| 19:13:18 | fs-bluebot | Build Server message: Build round completed after 1325 seconds. |
| 19:13:21 | fs-bluebot | Build Server message: Revision 7249fab result: All green |
| 19:14:43 | speachy | however, we do not use the same ATA controller clocking and settings as the stock ipod firmware |
| 19:15:25 | speachy | so it's quite likely that has a lot to do with it, given that the iflash adapters supposedly work well with that. |
| 19:15:44 | Strife89 | Ahhh |
| 19:16:49 | Strife89 | That reminds me, I do have an iPod Mini that I need to repair (needs new battery), so I guess I should get a CompactFlash card for it too |
| 19:19:37 | Strife89 | (And that is *all* I need, right? The CF card?) |
| 19:21:28 | speachy | yep; unplug the microdrive and plug in the CF card. you might want to attach a shim to keep it from wobbling around. |
| 19:22:07 | speachy | oh, before I forget, can you go into the debug menu, and dump the ata identify info? |
| 19:22:15 | speachy | it spits out a file on the root filesytem |
| 19:26:25 | Strife89 | Sure, in a bit |
| 19:26:52 | Strife89 | Oh, USB seems fixed too, on the previous build |
| 19:27:18 | Strife89 | (*Still* trying to download 29a03a3c25) |
| 19:30:14 | Strife89 | Okay, correction: USB doesn't crash Rockbox anymore when I disconnect it and it tries to remount storage |

| 20:57:16 | Strife89 | speachy: (file is above) |
| 21:00 |
| 21:04:12 | speachy | yeah, got it |
| 21:16:25 | Strife89 | I feel like I simply made a bad purchase (on the iFlash) and I should consider the money lost. |
| 21:16:47 | Strife89 | Back to the drawing board, as it were. |
| 21:17:22 | speachy | it's not a lost cause.. there's at least incremental progress being made these days |
| 21:20:32 | Strife89 | speachy: Sending a PM |
| 21:37:40 | Strife89 | Hmmm, suppose I pulled the SD card out of the iFlash and dumped partition headers again? |
| 21:37:56 | Strife89 | (and ran fsck, and copied all my music) |
| 21:42:13 | speachy | you partitioned/formatted it after the iflash was assembled, I think. (as part of the iTunes restore) |
| 21:43:21 | mendel_munkis | speachy: sorry I was afk. thanks for taking care of it |
| 21:44:46 | speachy | hey, it gave me an excuse to explore code I'd never seen before. And a tangible "that doesn't make sense" problem to distract me from being crushed by the weight of my own mortality |
| 21:44:47 | mendel_munkis | Also FWIW that was probably also the problem on superfloppy that caused the original revert of G#2464 |
| 21:44:49 | fs-bluebot | Gerrit review #2464 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/2464 : Allow any partition type, not just known FAT types. by Moshe Piekarski |
| 21:45:06 | * | speachy nods. |
| 21:45:25 | speachy | so now we follow the fat32 spec a bit more strictly, and the problems go away. :D |
| 21:45:33 | mendel_munkis | which means that we should be able to revert 2466 and gain a tiny speedup at mount |
| 21:46:38 | speachy | nah, I think it should be kept as-is, unless you want to tweak it to not bother with superfloppy mount attempts if we're on spinning rust |
| 21:46:51 | Strife89 | speachy: I did, I was just spitballing that idea |
| 21:47:41 | mendel_munkis | why? moving the superfloppy attempt back after will remove mount attempts that will usually fail. |
| 21:48:08 | mendel_munkis | also spinning rust can also have a superfloppy. |
| 21:48:17 | speachy | we're talking about gains on the order of a few ms here. |
| 21:48:27 | mendel_munkis | so? |
| 21:48:40 | speachy | even less on flash-based storage |
| 21:59:22 | Strife89 | speachy: Can't believe I haven't tried this already: playing the files from my iPod on my PC |
| 22:00 |
| 22:00:00 | Strife89 | An album I tried earlier on the iPod (which wouldn't play) is playing fine in VLC (loading the copy directly from the mounted iPod) |
| 22:00:12 | speachy | via rockbox usb, or disk mode? |
| 22:00:25 | Strife89 | Rockbox USB, even |
| 22:01:00 | speachy | did oyu ever try that last image I sent over? |
| 22:01:05 | Strife89 | This is on 29a03a3c25 |
| 22:01:25 | speachy | ok |
| 22:01:28 | Strife89 | Oh, well, it's playing in Rockbox too |
| 22:02:01 | Strife89 | So maybe you fixed it? |
| 22:03:11 | speachy | maybe, but I'd do things like let the system idle for a minute or two, then throw random I/O around |
| 22:03:35 | speachy | there's also the old g#469 |
| 22:03:37 | fs-bluebot | Gerrit review #469 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/469 : pp5020: use ipod firmware timings for ATA PIO. by Torne Wuff |
| 22:04:24 | speachy | the adapter should be doing most transfers in (U)DMA but some stuff still happens via PIO |
| 22:07:42 | Strife89 | Let it idle without playing music? |
| 22:07:59 | Strife89 | (I know, I might be second-guessing "idle" a bit much) |
| 22:08:53 | speachy | but the downside of g#2500 (which is the only not-in-mainline change in that 29a03 build I sent you) is that the "disk" and its controller never get powered off. so battery life could suffer −− but compared to spinning rust you're probably coming out way ahead. |
| 22:08:54 | fs-bluebot | Gerrit review #2500 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/2500 : ATA: Make sure "hard disk" supports power management by Solomon Peachy |
| 22:08:56 | Strife89 | Poking around so far has been as snappy as I've been *hoping* for, for the first time since installing this thing |
| 22:10:05 | Strife89 | I'll have to keep that patch handy for my local checkout, then |
| 22:10:06 | speachy | if you leave it playing it would normally power the disk down after being idle for 5 seconds, and then spin it back up again up to 5 seconds before the playback buffer runs out. which could be a minutes. |
| 22:10:38 | | Quit livvy (Remote host closed the connection) |
| 22:10:43 | speachy | until you sent that photo of the screen I didn't know if the iflash adatpers claimed to not support power management |
| 22:11:00 | speachy | s/a minutes/many minutes/ |
| 22:11:04 | Strife89 | Okay, so I should see whether it can make it through an album without a single button press |
| 22:11:40 | Strife89 | Other than volume adjustment, at least |
| 22:11:54 | Strife89 | Other than volume adjustment, at least |
| 22:11:55 | speachy | unfortunately if this does work then I don't know if there's any middle ground to be had −− it could be that the powerdown works but the wakeup process causes the iflash unit to lose its mind. |
| 22:13:32 | Strife89 | These tracks average something like 2 minutes (maybe 2-3 MB in q3 Vorbis?) and I'm on track 9 so far without any perceived issues |
| 22:16:05 | Strife89 | I'm considering trying to copy the rest of my music library to the iPod, using Rockbox's USB |
| 22:16:09 | speachy | from what I can tell rockbox strictly adheres to the sequence laid out in the ATA spec. Which the iflash controller might not like. |
| 22:16:48 | speachy | beat the crap out of it. |
| 22:18:06 | Strife89 | Shutting down still seems to take a while (I decided to power cycle to make sure my settings got saved) |
| 22:18:25 | Strife89 | And they did! |
| 22:18:26 | speachy | that's normal. |
| 22:18:40 | speachy | the ipod soft-poweroff is very slow/conservative on purpose. |
| 22:19:07 | Strife89 | Interesting |
| 22:19:59 | speachy | to initiate shutdown, that is −− once it starts, it's not really much worse than any other hdd-based player. There are delays and other things in there assuming spinning rust takes time to write and get ready for a safe shutdown. |
| 22:20:50 | Strife89 | *Jeez* my video game collection is immense. 48 GB (out of roughly 67 GB for my phone's entire Music folder) |
| 22:21:03 | Strife89 | So this *will* hammer the iFlash for a while. 3 hour estimate |
| 22:21:08 | speachy | that's one of the things I intend to play with when I get that CF card for my mini2g; see if I can detect solid-state stuff reliably at runtime and adjust delays and other hdd-assuming behaviours as appropriate. |
| 22:21:29 | speachy | ...just don't put anything on there you can't afford to get eaten |
| 22:22:01 | Strife89 | Naturally. There are copies on both my phone and NAS already. |

| 22:41:06 | Strife89 | Scratch that, it's not frozen |
| 22:41:21 | Strife89 | Just paused by a prompt asking whether I wanted to merge a folder |
| 22:41:36 | Strife89 | Nemo has this annoying habit of popping up the prompt behind another window |
| 22:45:58 | speachy | too bad I don't have a good way to measure current draw on a USB cable. |
| 22:49:42 | Strife89 | https://www.amazon.com/MakerHawk-3-7-30V-Voltage-Multimeter-Voltmeter/dp/B07FMQZVW2 Something like one of these? |
| 22:51:07 | speachy | hmm, that will certianly work more nicely than hacking a cable and routing it through a multimeter |
| 22:55:40 | speachy | done. |
| 22:56:44 | Strife89 | Hope it works well for you. |
| 23:00 |
| 23:25:05 | Strife89 | 10 GB copied without any signs of trouble - hopefully this bodes well. |
