I said it was reported as being 1500 prior to the box failing, but having put it in a difference box, without running fix-disk, it has reduced to 16.

If you are interested, I used WINSCP to copy the file onto a PC (requires custom package greenend-sftp) to be installed , used DB Brower for SQLite to view the data, and then copied and pasted into excel to analyse the data. I wouldn't want to do that with millions of rows of data. I also used...

Mine has 3098 rows of data for each of net, smart, temp , vmstat. Each entry has a time in seconds since 1st Jan 1970, going back to Aug 10 2017, which is when I first installed the drive. Each entry is labelled "weekly", "daily", "hourly", "15min", "min" or "raw". It seems to record every...

What I really meant is to ask whether the data is accessible in an easily readable form, and if so where? The rest of the disk stats look OK. Now that the fan control is working, and its running cool, I think it will probably be OK. I just was interested to find out more about the temperature...

That's why I wasn't keen to go straight down that route. Now it seems that everything is working fine without having done the RMA. I have used the Telnet menus previously - for disk diagnosis when the original HDD had some corruptions; I just couldn't see the point of the Diagnostic Icons if...

Thanks for the explanation prpr. I ran fix-flash and rebooted and the new portal now works. It seemed a simpler, quicker first try than BlackHole's more radical solution which I kept up my sleeve in case it didn't work. If I were to have gone down the RMA route, wouldn't the CFW reset and RMA...

As I said. There have been a number of boxes available on ebay; and I managed to pick up a replacement for £36 (including postage). It seems to be in good condition and appeared never to have been opened - warranty seal still intact. I swapped my 2T byte hard disk into it and installed the...

Thanks Both, Black Hole - Yes, I have the same symptoms that you described; both with the original 500GByte HDD ( I never throw anything away) and the 2TByte upgrade disk. Just before the system resets and the boot restarts, the TV screen flashes green for a fraction of a second. bottletop...

"I thought my box was dying", But it's taken another eight and a half years to expire!!!! Humax never did accept responsibility under warranty - to save you reading from the start, my machine was overheating under load just as the warranty expired, and the thread was left at the point where...

I hadn't put 2+2 together, but now you put it like that, mine seems to do the same.... Neighbours recorded during the day, with the TV off. Machine is switched off by the time my wife gets home to watch. But.... responding to Black Hole.... Yes I had checked the menu settings described. It...

My machine is running custom firmware with various add-ons so that it automatically decodes the HD recordings every night. Within the machine itself I have turned off the automatic switch-off timer, but after inactivity, it still switches off. I don't think it used to do this, but now, whenever...

I've also had fix-disk produce errors (830kbyte log file is a lot of errors ) following reformat using hummy software from the remote. But that is on a disk which is showing signs of impending failure. Fix-disk did eventually complete and I didnt run it a 2nd time to see whether it completely...

Thanks prpr. Fix-disk found literally thousands of errors. And that was only one day and 2 recordings after I reformatted the disk. I can't believe that the Humax software could be so very different than a manual fdisk command. How can there be thousands of inode errors and block allocation...

I left fix disk running and went to bed. This morning it come to the end of its long check and I think it asked me if it should use the unallocated (spare) LBA it had found. (I was still half asleep and just went along with its suggestion whatever it was). I then got page after page of inode...

Thanks for all your help so far... Recordings are noted as full length These is no warning that the recording failed, but on perhaps one in 5 the playback stops at a random place, perhaps 20 minutes into a film. Looking at the diagnostics, ID 5, the reallocated sector count has been...
