GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 583798
Banshee doesn't reserve space for generation of device native database (Sansa Fuze)
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:34:37 UTC
Please describe the problem: The Sansa Fuze generates it's own database when updated by Banshee and unplugged. However it is possible for Banshee to fill up the device to much that there is no space on the device to generate the database and thus it will fail to start up. In my case it claims it wants 90 mb for the database but I don't know how much space is already available for it. Regardless we should have a threshold for reserved space for these devices, probably in hal somewhere and have Banshee obey that. Note that the space must be available on the primary partition, it is not sufficent to have space on an additional MicroSD card. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
You could do this pretty easily via DapSource's BytesReserved property, setting it in MassStorageDevice/Source somehow.
Bulk changing the assignee to banshee-maint@gnome.bugs to make it easier for people to get updated on all banshee bugs by following that address. It's usually quite apparent who is working on a given bug by the comments and/or patches attached.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
