HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

beware !

It crashes the IT if we open to take the external SD out.

...........

Too bad I have to disable the nice applet!

?

Are you sure it s HomeDiskFree ... can't reproduce this. Home diskfree only ask about the size with the command 'df -H'

Re: HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

When users are removing the external SD cards; the program doesn't handle the exception correctly. Sometimes the system reports the SD is being used and such; then it freezes and crashes and reboots..... At least that happens to me (running Diablo)

Re: HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

So are you saying that is repeatable with HomeDiskFree? And removing HomeDiskFree stops it completely?

When it gives the memory card in use message, does it crash immediately, or what actions do you take before it crashes?

You see, it (AFAICT) can't be catching an exception from that. If there's a problem, it'd seem to be with df, aka busybox. But I'd guess (without actually seeing it, and thus with low certainty) that the problem's elsewhere.

Re: HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

Yes, by removing it I'd have no problem; with it the problem returns every time.
Sometimes with memory card in use message sometimes not but the IT would not respond and then crash. I have other applets running too, like CPU, MemFree, ... so it could be a combination of things.

Re: HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

I can't reproduce it on my device.

Put in a sd will make n810 freeze for 1 to 2 min but this is due to metalayer-crawler (6go with 4go of music).

But put it off doesn't cause any problem on mine n810. Maybe something with df ... but i don't see at this step.

Re: HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

and maybe you just have a swap file on your memory card so when you remove it you crash your IT?

edit:happened to me few times and i dont have HomeDiskFree:P but i had swap on mmc

Re: HomeDiskFree is nice but ...
 

It seems a combination of DiskFree and FreeMem causing it even without metalayer-crawler.

I removed FreeMem but had DiskFree and it behave very well. Opening the external slot gate DiskFree takes out the mmc1 right away.

So now I have it back without FreeMem.
