crio u: fills up early

[Jim@SONGS]

CRIO 9014 runs a logging application. LVRT 8.6 writes a small (45KB) data file every 1 minute to the 2GB Kingston Data Traveller USB stick at U:. I find that after about 3 hours (about 180 files) the logging stops. If I delete files, the logging will begin again until the stick is "full". However, 2GB/45KB should have room for >44K files. Any ideas?

thanks

Jim

The probably fat32 directory can only contain a limited number of files.

If you use subdirectories you will see it fits.

I tried to fill up more photographs on such a device and had the same problem.

Under the worst conditions the spec would allow 65K entries/13 entries per file to accomodate long filenames or >5000 files, unless I am badly misunderstanding FAT32 specs.

Just try

My SD card had a problem with >256 files in the root directory

I believe I did misunderstand. Too many files for the root. Build a subdir and write to the sub. I will try in a few days and respond.

Thanks!

Albert, My Friend

You are Brilliant! A subdirectory will hold many more files than the root. Previously I could get only about 3 hours of 1 file per minute, now I have run overnight, 12 hours with no problems.

Thank you!
