I started looking for this a few months ago after I had a problem mounting the partition via my USB cable. On multiple USB hosts I saw similar whining in syslog, but the complaints were the same across systems that mounted it successfully and those that didn't. I *think* the errors were prompted by this: I'd just deleted the AV media that comes bundled on the device via the USB connection, and noticed that a "df" gave me the same output as before deleting the media. I then tried disconnecting the USB cable and reconnecting it: that's when I saw these sort of errors on the host. It was only at this point that I started looking at the tablet's dmesg output: it's possible it was complaining in this fashion /before/ I removed the media (but I don't think it was). I wonder if the bundled media files are originally placed in some special part of the internal card that's thought of as immutable by some code, but not all? </wild_ass_guess> Jonathan -- Jonathan Matthews | matthewslevine at gmail.com | 07790 195 895 "That sounds vaguely obscene, and if there's one thing I cannot *stand*, it's vagueness." -- Dean Grennell
