Tried a FAT formatted flash drive and it ejected fine. I also ran DU on my drive and it came up with no problems for either the drive or permissions. The player drive did the same remounting thing. Do you have a Backup drive to boot from?īooted from a 7 day old backup.

When in Terminal I did a search for "Pearl" which should have also brought up any variants.Īfter reading the whole post, I get the feeling that you OS install is just a tat off.

I can check for invisibles too but I'll post this now as I'll probably have to reboot again if I plug it in.Īny suggestions on getting this to behave with a Mac or this will be the second mp3 player I will have to return in one day.įWIW the drive is formatted to FAT32 formatĪre there any other Aliases like PEARL1 in Volumes? Is there some file that Windows uses that OSX also uses that is causing this behavior? I recall from my DOS days that there is a minute degree of similarity between Unix/Linux and DOS at a very basic level. At this stage OSX really starts misbehaving and at one stage I couldn't get into a Finder window and had to press the restart button on my Quicksilver. However, when I eject the drive (drag to the trash or press the eject icon in the Finder window) the drive disappears for a few seconds then reappears. It mounts fine and I can copy files to and from it.

It was set up to autorun some Windows software, but I obviously didn't get it to do that though it may be relevant to the problem. I have a TH1602 RCA mp3 player that doubles as a flash drive.
