Hello
I just made another strange experience with the card.
Somehow we manage to produce a root level directory ("/xx/") that acted as a
link to the card root ("/").
When browsing, the directory showed the identical files/subdirs as the
root - among them also itself. A clear recursion and all programs (file
managers) that we tested failed here once they had to do a recursive scan -
they mostly crashed when the memory was excerpted.
The directory could not be deleted by VFSFileDelete (vfsErrDirNotEmpty) and
VFSFileGetAttributes returned a single attribute - vfsFileAttrDirectory.
I was about to reformat the card, when I decided to try PocketPC. Here the
directory was shown as empty, could be copied and deleted. However, the
copied directory is furtheron unreadable under Palm, but at least the
recursion disappeared.
Does anybody have any idea how to cope with such situation? (I mean on
Palm.)
With best regards,
Jan Slodicka
