That's just the last few lines. It was probably a few hundred pages long for the whole thing.If that is the total output it certainly hasn't finished. How long has it been stuck at this stage?
It ran yesterday evening, all night, and all of today.fix-disk can take several hours - best run overnight

Leave it for the 3 hours or so. It looks like it is running a long disk smart test in preference to the remaining fixdisk script.It doesn't seem to want to run fixdisk again.

See post 46 above. It isn't doing anything anymore. Fixdisk just refuses to run now.Leave it for the 3 hours or so. It looks like it is running a long disk smart test in preference to the remaining fixdisk script.
I think that is why your front display is like this ==> front display shows ==> FixDisk Init.
It has only ran the start of the script , ie the short or long disk smart test and nothing else!
But that shouldn't matter as it does seem to be doing some good in reducing Current Pending Sector

I did read that. You seem to have overlooked something, the paragraph just aboveSee post 46 above. It isn't doing anything anymore. Fixdisk just refuses to run now.

It's already running in the background. WIth it running, going into the fixdisk option again reconnects you with the existing session.Fixdisk just refuses to run now.
Which is really helpful, thanks. However, I cannot unscramble an egg. The process was ended. After 24 hours it seemed to be doing nothing more. The box is out of maintenance mode.That is why I suggest wait 3 hours for it to finish!
It really isn't. The whole process is over. The box is back up and running in normal mode now, and refuses to do any more fixdisk operations. It refuses to start, right at the first hurdle.Maybe next time answer 'n' on this particular prompt so that it can continue with the rest of the fixdisk script and not do the long smart disk check.
Although it is not obvious, it is doing the long smart disk check in the background.
I'm confused. How can it be running when the box is no longer in maintenance mode, has be rebooted, and even power cycled multiple times. I can no longer reconnect with the session, there is no session.It's already running in the background. WIth it running, going into the fixdisk option again reconnects you with the existing session.
Dunno then.How can it be running when the box is no longer in maintenance mode, has be rebooted, and even power cycled multiple times

I think you're supposed to wait for the duration it mentions - 2:42 whilst it runs the long smart test in the background. Just leave the Humax alone for 3 hours. Powered on, no reboots, etc. After that you can reboot and check the web interface/drive diagnostics or use the 'check - Check self-test progress' option in the maintenance menu without reboot.LBA has not yet been found

This is the HD’s status now.
OK, I left it doing whatever it was doing all night, so I guess I'll find out now what the status is.I think you're supposed to wait for the duration it mentions - 2:42 whilst it runs the long smart test in the background.

Is there a way to format a blank disk using telnet?
