Cannot write to TrekStor i.Beat classico

I just bought a brand new TrekStor i.Beat classico and like it very much (design, Ogg-support, usability, ...) But even though TrekStor claims to be Linux compatible I have some trouble with it.

I made a udev-entry (sic: "TrekStok"):
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

Code: Select all

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="ub?", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="TrekStok MASS STORAGE  ", SYSFS{product}=="TrekStor USB MASS STORAGE  ", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="iBeat"
Now I can mount the device:

# mount -t vfat -o utf8 /dev/iBeat /media/iBeat/

"utf8" was necessary to correctly display the non-iso characters

Now I can copy files from the device. They are intact.
But when I copy files to the device (ls shows them in the directory), unmount and mount again, they are gone.

When I access the "copied" files (rename or so), I soon run into trouble. The usb (or vfat?) kernel modules seem to lock-up, I cannot unmount and not even correctly shutdown the laptop.

Please note, that the device is not partitioned (/dev/uba1 does not exist, raw device). I tried to partition it, but fdisk cannot read the partition table:
# fdisk /dev/uba

Code: Select all

Unable to read /dev/uba
I also tried to format the fat 32 system from Linux, but that does not work either:
# mkfs.vfat /dev/iBeat

Code: Select all

mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system
unable to get drive geometry, using default 255/63
On Windows everything is fine. I formatted the device as described in the manual and successfully copied some files (they play well). The device can also format itself (not changing anything).
I upgraded to the current firmware to 1.08, I haven't tried Linux before the upgrade.

So far I had no problems with other USB mass storage (Pentax-camera, various USB-sticks and harddisks)

Can anybody help?

Do you have windows file system write support enabled in your kernel?
I imagine you do, but just thought I'd ask.

My kernel config looks as this:
DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems:

Code: Select all

<M> MSDOS fs support 
<M> VFAT (Windows-95) fs support    
(850) Default codepage for FAT                          
(iso8859-1) Default iocharset for FAT                    
<M> NTFS file system support                        
[ ]   NTFS debugging support                                   
[*]   NTFS write support       
Note that I mount the TrekStor as vfat, not ntfs.

Here as a more detailed error report:
# mount -t vfat -o rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower /dev/iBeat /media/iBeat/
- copy some files (via KDE-Konqueror)
- ls shows files are there
# umount /media/iBeat/
# mount -t vfat -o rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower /dev/iBeat /media/iBeat/
- copied files are no longer there!
- copy the same files again (via KDE-Konqueror)

--> Strange error message ("Process was closed.." or something). Konqueror hangs.

But there are no open files:

Mhm, any ideas? Seems like a kernel module / hardware problem.

Cheers,
Jörn

I just had a similar problem with an i.Beat Cebrax:
1. even when I deleted all files df told me that 260MB were still in use
2. every file I copied on the i.Beat was gone after remounting it

After some experimenting I noticed that formating with some weird options works for me:

Code: Select all

mkfs.vfat -F 16 -v -S 2048 -n i.Beat /dev/sdx1
(Of course you need to replace sdx by the correct device name)

Good luck
