[Ifp-driver-common] Re: request for testers!

[Joe R. <joe...@gm...>]

dual AMD 2400+.
Linux 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 kernel (patched fine, error free)

All the basic filesystem functionality worked,
mounting, unmounting / moving, copying, deleting ( single files,
directories with other directories and files in ), renaming files

dmesg shows:
usbcore: registered new driver iRiverManagerFS
iRiverFS: successfully registered and initialized.
iRiverFS: detected a iFP-7xx series device.
[ifp_delta] interesting, the last 4 bytes are 00000000.
iRiverFS: model IFP-790T, firmware 1.10, battery =[####], delta 1.8.4.23

One question about the filesystem:
Why is it when copying/moving/etc files, it freezes programs like
konqueror until the file transfer is finished? plus is also gives very
choppy stats when copying, can't really make out the transfer
throughput, because it quickly goes to 58% stops for a long time and
then goes to 100%....

I am using USB2.0.

cheers,
joe
