Hi,
I am still pretty new with my zaurus and linux trying to figure a lot out. I m running OZ 3.5.4.1 Kernel 2.6.16 and Opie 1.2.1 on a C860. I find that when I transfer a file from my XP through a card reader to my CF or SD card and then plug the card onto my Z, I don't see these files. However, when I reboot Z, the files finally appear and whatever changes i have made on my cards are shown on my File Manager. Does anybody know why this is happening? Do I need to reboot everytime I copy files over. I assume this has something to do with mounting the device. Is there someting I should do 1st before i plug and unplug my card. I appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks! Jeev |

It sounds like the zaurus isn't unmounting the card when you remove it. Is there some program you installed on the card or a swap file enabled or something that could be preventing that?

The previous owner has some files still located in it. I have not dared to remove them yet till i know what are they for or if my Z is dependant on them. How can I tell? I see files like initrd.bin, updater.sh and tools.tar. Along with a few release text files. I assume it may be safe to remove them, no? How do I tell its swap file enabled? Thanks again! Appreciate any advice. Jeev |
