[SOLVED] Some interesting "bug" that i think is worth sharing...

[Exnor]

Ok, my Pi that has been running 24/7 for the past 2 years (i think) finally burned the SDcard that was on it ... so instead of using one of my recovery Ghost imgs i decided to do a full fresh install (from the Win installer with the latest build, plus updates, etc etc), since i have all my addons data on backup.

So i got a brand new fast 8GiB Sandisk card and done the all process (no probs whatsoever on the installation and updates), then, and even before copying my Addons backups to card, i seat down in front of my tv and started the usual configs, like output res, audio passthrough etc etc... just to find out that, after a reboot my settings were not getting saved (!!).
XBMC every time it exited reverted my configs to the ones it came by default...

Long story short: After trying editing by hand the config files e discovered that i needed to CHMOD 777 mode on the entire directory of .....\userdata\... for XBMC to save my settings....
After this everything went smooth and its now fully working (RC3 latest stable build), Addons restored etc etc...

Any ideas why this happened?

On another subject, anyone knows what is the minimum memory split (RAM) to use the less allocated RAM to the GPU? I'm using 90MiB for the GPU on one of my Pi's and its working fine, but i would like to be able to allocate more memory for the system. Any ideas?

Thks guys.
