Scan disk and defrag dismount the storage card at the start of their process (to ensure exclusive use I assume).

When these are executing another process, poutlook, (I think) runs and expects to find its files on ‘Storagecard’. As this does not exist it creates a subdir in main memory called ‘Storagecard’.

When your tasks finish they remount the card, but it is mounted as ‘storagecard2’.

Thus all programs which are installed on the card no longer run via shortcuts and those having data on the card no longer work.

have to delete the memory ‘Storagecard’ and reboot to correct.

any ideas on a possible fix/workaround?

We need to have a deeper look into this issue. Until we resolve it here is what you can do:

1) Rename storagecard to storagecard3
2) Reboot the device. The card should be mounted properly now
3) Copy the contents of storagecard3 onto storagecard
4) Reboot the device again and delete the no longer needed storagecard3

Let me know if that worked.

Just deleting the in memory ‘storagecard’, and rebooting works fine.

I do not use poutlook but suspect it is being woken up at certain intervals. the sub dir that is being created on the in memory ‘storagecard’ has a name format inbox.mastNNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN (N being numeric), this then contains an empty sub dir \mail attachements, hence my belief it may be poutlook.

Now I know what it is I can work around (gave me a scare the first time).
