Uh-oh - riocp killed my karma!!!
Well - it might have done, or it might be a coincidence.
I ran 'riocp -b' from a terminal to try and rebuild my database. It took
about a minute, and completed without any errors.
I then tried to copy an mp3 using riocp, and it segfaulted.
I then tried restarting the karma and it entered a cycle where it boots,
gets to the point where the hard-drive spins up and then restarts itself,
gets to the point where the hard-drive spins up and then restarts itself...
This carried on until I found a pin and hit the reset button.
Now I'm not saying riocp caused this - the karma hard-disks do have a, uh,
temperamental reputation. But the timing does seem suspicious. Could this
sort of behaviour be caused by a corrupted DB?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'll try reflashing the
firmware when I get home, and reformatting as a last resort (is there any
way to do this in Linux?). And then if that doesn't work I'll hit it very
hard.
If I do get it up and running, I'll try another 'riocp -b' and see if it
breaks again.
Fingers crossed
Olly
