I have the same problem with my new sansa clip+ 8gb.
The firmware is the latest, 01.02.16.
I put the clip in the msc mode but if I connect it to my pc, with archlinux as os, the message of the kernel is:

if I check the partition table I see:

??? # seems that the partition lost!!!
lsusb command confirm that the clip is connected as msc:
darkstar mnt # lsusb

I have connect the clip with my windows pc and I haven’t problem neither in the mtp mode neither in msc mode.
What is the problem?
Thanks at all
