Hi,
Ok, here is what I'm trying to do:
Sync music files from my computer, to my 20 gb mp3 player.
There is 8 gb of data to sync
However, midway through the sync process, the fs is set to read only as
there seem to be errors with certain files.
If I remount, I can't remove these effected files, the only way to fix
things is to make use of fsck.vfat
That seems to indicate that the error is on your mp3 player.

When looking at "man mkfs.vfat", I don't see those options. But
then, it's really an alias to MKDOSFS(8).
So, I can't continue syncing as if I get rid of the effected files, they
just come back on the next sync.
There is no problem on the ext3 file system. So how can I stop this from
happening, and get a clean sync. Do I remove the effected files from the
ext 3 fs, or is there another way to tell rsync to skip the files. How
Why do that?
do I see what files are causing the trouble?
I believe the file system is fat 32 on the mp3 player, this is the
command I used to make it:
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdg1
Oh and here is my rsync command I use.
rsync -avz /media/daniel-external/music/ /media/disk/music
What about a simple "cp -vr"?

If anyone could help me out with this I'd greatly appreciate it.
Is this (the fs being set to RO) a repeatable process?
If so, and multiple mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat commands don't solve the
problem, could some of the MP3 player's flash RAM be bad?
