If I transfer files from the other SD card (1GB) or internal memory to the SDHC card all goes fine.

If I try to download maps or podcasts from the internet on the N800 and write them to the SDHC it goes all wrong.

It appears that the write process gets all confused and trashes the file allocation table (?) as a quick format sees the card back up and running.

Anyone having the same behaviour?
Just this morning... Uhg... I guess it's a reformat - again - for me. I think it's related to the media player thing that scans the files, but I am not 100% sure of that. I look forward to applying the SDHC patch to the kernel... When is that going to be ready? And - thank you to whomever is doing that!
