I was finishing a small syncronization when it failed. Now when my system powers on it gets stuck at the 'Building Music Databases..' screen and sits there.

Here is the bootlog..

If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
or forever hold their peace...it seems not. Let fly the Penguins of Linux!

Any ideas on how to fix this??

This may not be the correct thing to do but you could give this a shot and see if it helps any.

Ahhh.. good eye. I see the fsck error message in there now, I missed it as I was overwhelmed with all the messages at the end of the boot log.. I knew those were not normal.

I am trying the fix now.. its scary because it is definitely doing something and I am not familiar with a lot of this..

Notice it had no errors. I am guessing all the errors were with my first drive.. but thats the important one.

At this point I unplugged the unit and then rebooted but it still does the same thing. It sticks at the Rebuilding Music Databases.. message.

Or so I thought.. after about 60 more seconds it finished its boot and I can now see it with the emplode software. Emplode is rebuilding the databases.. I guess its finishing the sync it started when it bombed?

It looks like its OK now..

Im glad that helped.

You might still want to try this if it keeps building databases.
