Guys, PRS+ (aka "folder hack") now supports disabling external card scan via settings menu (in addition to .noscan).

Sony is NOT mounting external SD/MS drives, but accessing them using some mtools like utility which is bugged (at least when reading non ascii folders/files).

I'd try to format cards using FAT32 but with huge cluster size (I guess 16k is max allowed?) and check if that helps.

Mounting it linux way is still an option to try in the future. Actually tech-savy users could try it right away, using igorsk's flasher's "run script.sh". To mount SD card use:
UPDATE:

Code:

mkdir -p /tmp/sd_card
mount -t vfat /dev/sdmscard/r5c807a1 /tmp/sd_card

You'll have to modify your "Browse Folder" settings (set imRoot variable to corresponding path, e.g. "/tmp/sd_card").

Check if you could see all files this way.
