Scenario: 4.5 installed on Emtec 2GB-FM mp3 player, using 1G of the
2G, the rest being 1G of FAT (a separate fdisk partition, labeled as sd0i).
Everyting works BSD-wise, provided the machine I plug it in can boot off USB
at all. Now, I still want to be able to use it as a mp3 player.
I created newfs_msdos on sd0i, can copy files back and forth.
But when I turn the mp3 player on then, it says 'no song found'.
(The FM player works.)
After I (put my quarantine gloves on and) plugged the player into
a windows machine and repartitioned the 1g partition with win's
'format', and copied some mp3's, the player _can_ see them and play
them. If I newfs_msdos the partition again, the player cannot read it again.
That makes me ask: is there something newfs_msdos doesn't that win
FAT 'format' does that could be relevant to this? Did someone experience
the same?
Thanks
Jan
