Re: Trouble copying files to SanDisk m230

This is a 512MB MP3/WMA player recently bought at Radio Shack.

I have been ripping my CDs at 48kbps, and copying the MP3 files to the
device.

Linux reports that there is still space on the device, yet complains
"device full" when I try to copy another file:

df -h /mnt/TELECHIPS/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 493M 350M 144M 71% /mnt/TELECHIPS

cp ./01_Assassine_album.mp3 /mnt/TELECHIPS/

cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/TELECHIPS/01_Assassine_album.mp3': No
space left on device

Any ideas whqat I can do to find out why, and rememdy this?

I'm tempted to state that the root cause of the problem is
most likely because it was bought at Radio Shack. Aren't
you glad I resisted the temptation to say that? :-) :-)

What kind of filesystem is on the device? Does that kind of
filesystem have a limitation on the number of files, like
the inode limit on Unix-based filesystems? Unfortunately,
that's the extent of what I'm likely to be able to help
with, because I don't know much more detail about filesystem
internals.
