Hi , I'm looking for some feedback on an issue which might not be one: read-only storage. It appears that since virtually all DAP use micro-sd card we never ran into this problem but I am porting Rockbox to the Creative ZEN and ZEN X-Fi which feature a real SD card port and can sense the write-protected switch of them. The obvious solution is to completely ignore it of course but this is a bit of shame. Another option is to simply fail all writes to the storage if it is write protected (remember that this is completely software handled). I am wondering if there would be any interest in doing something a bit more clever, like making the file system code aware of read-only storage. Indeed, failing all writes will potentially stress all write path, might trigger bugs or obscure error messages to the user. A simple solution would be to prevent opening opening a file for writing for example.
Any thoughts ? Amaury Pouly
