I recently ran out of room on a 64GB SSD and decided to upgrade to a 128GB CF configuration.

I got the 128GB CF setup using the builder_bigdisk_v21.upgrade, restored all fids and dynamic data partition from the 'old' 64GB SSD drive (using a USB<>PATA adapter and a linux box), and things were going seemingly well. Music played fine, reboots were fine, etc.

I tried to add a new album to the player this morning and ran into all kinds of issues during the sync (tried with emplode and jemplode). Namely, the timeout issue that others have mentioned sporadically. Mine is repeatedly giving this message:


"2a40.3 hda: err: stat_timo"

Player infos:
Model: mk2a
Player: v2.01
Hijack: v525
PATA/CF adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QW5NRMH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
CF card: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M5M5KYZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(The CF card adapter is the only device on the IDE)

Has anyone else run into something similar and figured out a solution?

Cheers!
