If your adapter/card does not work well with Rockbox, connecting the USB cable while Rockbox or Rockbox Bootloader USB mode is running will lead to filesystem corruption and you'll have to re-format the iPod as FAT32, reinstall Rockbox and re-upload all files that you need (music, etc.).

If you have an adapter for mSATA or SD card (iFlash, ZIF to CF and CF to SD, ZIF to mSATA, etc.) please keep in mind that file transfer in Rockbox or Rockbox Bootloader USB mode MAY not work, depending on the adapter type and card type!
