Sebastian, I asked about CF cards, but forgot to ask about internal HDD. That was the problem if you did not reboot camera with setting SATA as IDE slave, they both appeared as IDE masters - that caused "lost interrupts" and other problems - both devices were responding together. Then - you tried to write when system reported problems - that could easily cause corruption of the data and/or partitions. When I asked about the CF - there is another problem with some (most, actually) CF cards that I described in the Linuxdevices article - http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Open-source-camera-records-geotagged-video-to-SATA-HDD/ Most of the CF cards do not support DMA mode even as they report it as supported. When used with regular computers that small lie is not a big problem as these cards support UDMA. But - Axis ETRAX has a bug in the UDMA implementation and so UDMA does not work in the cameras. And that is true even when the cards (w/o DMA support) are installed in an adapter and connected to the camera as SATA SSD - adapter transparently reports the same (actually missing) DMA functionality.
