Hello Everyone, I used to have absolutely no problems with this MP3 player. But recently I have been getting errors when I attempt to add/remove files on this player. If it matters, I am running the KDE that ships with Fedora 13. This issue started before the recent KDE updates. 1. "tail -f /var/log/messages" says the following when I plug the player in: Jul 14 05:35:00 localhost kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 Jul 14 05:35:02 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Jul 14 05:35:03 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=74c3 Jul 14 05:35:03 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Jul 14 05:35:03 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: Product: SanDisk Sansa Fuze Jul 14 05:35:03 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: Manufacturer: SanDisk Jul 14 05:35:03 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 7827F0147398B6A80000000000000000 Jul 14 05:35:03 localhost kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

KDE's "Device Notifier" pops up when I plug the player in: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/SansaFuze-MountingIssue-001.png 3. Then I select "Open with File Manager" Dolphin shows the Owner of the player as "steve" and the Group as "root" 4. "ls -lh /dev/sdd" shows the permissions of "/dev/sdd" as follows: [steve@localhost ~]$ ls -lh /dev/sdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 Jul 14 05:40 /dev/sdd Also, I AM a member of the group "disk" 5. "/etc/mtab" contains the following line: /dev/sdd /media/SANSA\040FUZE vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=501,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush 0 0 6. I am NOT running SELinux... OK, now the foundation is set. On the the problem. 1. When I try to remove an audio book that I put on the player, I get the following error message: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/SansaFuze-MountingIssue-002.png 2. Next I will try to remove the files from a terminal. Hopefully I will get some more useful information: rm: cannot remove `Jane Austen/Pride & Prejudice/Pride & Prejudice - Chapter 61 - Jane Austen.mp3': Read-only file system That's odd, since "/etc/mtab" shows "/dev/sdd" as being "rw" Also, "less /dev/sdd" shows "brw-rw----" 3. The question will arise, "Maybe this is a problem specific to the Audiobook you are attempting to remove." "rm -rvf /media/SANSA\ FUZE/MUSIC/Retrospective/" outputs the following: [steve@localhost ~]$ rm -rvf /media/SANSA\ FUZE/MUSIC/Retrospective/ rm: cannot remove `/media/SANSA FUZE/MUSIC/Retrospective/11 - See See Rider - The Animals.mp3': Read-only file system Also, if I attempt to drag a file onto the player in Dolphin, the result is as follows: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/SansaFuze-MountingIssue-003.png 4. http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/SansaFuze-MountingIssue-003.png Almost forgot: if I try to add or remove files to this player as Root, it still fails. So even Root can't write to this device :) Again, this player used to work perfectly with Fedora 13. I have not done anything (knowingly) to cause the problems that I have been having with it... If you need any more details, let me know. Steven P.
