M96 Too much time checking Ext SD Card

salarconurraca · 03-22-2015, 01:29 PM

Hi Everyone:
i'm a happy owner of a m96, bought in ereader-store.de.
everything works as expected, except but a very strange behavior:
Every time i switch on the unit, takes almost 5 minutes checking the external SD card, delaying all the operations and without show any titles in "now reading" and "recently read"

After this checking operation all go to normal.
is this behavior correct? do i have to do something in order to fix this?

Thanks in advance

With the M92 there is an option to disable the preloading of the metadata.

Thank you Randy for the answer, however i couldn't find any option about that.

Any ideas?

I'd be interested in this solution as well.
I was trying to mount 32GB SDHC full of data (26GB of PDF files) and it was taking like 15 minutes for mount.

I am revisiting this older thread because I have the exact same problem, but actually much worse that the OP had.
My M96 has a 32GB card with about 6GB of data on it (mostly audio that I use for language study). When I turn on the device, it starts checking the card and is unusable for over an hour (!). During this time I cannot read (even though my books are on the device, not on the card), and - more importantly - cannot take notes (I use Lecture Notes which needs the SD card to be operational).
Any tips for solving this problem?

I seem to have found the cause and solution.
My RSS reader (GReader) left nearly 3.000 small cache files on the card. Once I deleted that folder, the M96 recognised the card much faster. A similar number of mp3 files did not seem to slow it down at all.
