      HDD health and maintenance. Smart Self-test logs

      Hi All, Firstly, I confess I am a little paranoid. but... How can I tell if my HDD is checking itself regularly? The table in the Disk Diagnostics section appears to be all offline / manual stuff but should it show up other more regular tests that the HDD does itself? (I could have sworn that...

      replacing hard disk

      Stats are back and working now. :) Current stats below. 120 hours of error free running - let's hope it will continue now. However I think it is time to see what dual drive NAS drives are going for a good price this Black Friday! Let me ask a quesiton about that in a different post...

      replacing hard disk

      Hmmm, I thought I had updated it but maybe not (I assume you are talking about Webif). Let me update that! :) Is there an easy way to find out the difference between the two version?

      replacing hard disk

      Hi All, Just picking up methods to initiate a HDD test... I was curious to try this method out to test the HDD without doing webif / telnet stuff. I assumed it would do a short test but it's now more than an hour and seems to be stuck at about 95% (it reached this wihtin a couple of minutes)...

      2tb seagate skyhawk, 1st bad sector after 4 years

      Do you always have to enter maintenace mode to run fixdisk to sort problems out? For the time being I've turned off timeslip / tsr thing as wanted to ensure that area was fully checked too.

      2tb seagate skyhawk, 1st bad sector after 4 years

      I came across the below thread about skyhawk hdd back from 2020 so thought i would reply... 4 years down the line after buying a 2tb skyhawk around sept 2020, I've just got my first group of bad sectors.

      Can anyone decipher this Crash log

      Have now run Fix-flash-packages and so will see if reinstalling things (which I believe this command does?) improves things

      Can anyone decipher this Crash log

      Hi All, I've had occasional crashes/reboots, the latest was tonight half was through recording radio (bbc radio 1). This time I was on channel 250 (red button) about to turn the tv off and noticed that it rebooted / restarted. Webif showed up a message saying that it had crashed. So I chose...

      external USB transfer speed

      Just been reading around, would i / could I use rsync? Is there any UI i can use or is this just command prompt for the humax? Not entirely sure how I would write the command in order to point to the usb drive. Thanks

      external USB transfer speed

      Thanks for the replies. The recordings are all sd quality and pre decoded. So i would have thought it would simply be just doing a transfer process, ie more than 2mb/s transfer speed. I hear your point about 0.5mb/s rate but I'm just wondering if there is a way to transfer files faster, eg via...

      Can Betaftp do resume / REST?

      Hi All, I'm unable to download various .ts files without experiencing some form of drop out along the way due to my location and signal strength on occasions.

      external USB transfer speed

      Hi All, What speed transfers do people mostly get when transferring files to and from an external HDD / USB stick using the front USB on their HDR? I've just clocked mine and it seems to be only 2Mb/s which is very slow indeed. It's faster for me to use my wifi and ftp out the files it seems...

      Need guidance on diagnostics - large spike in HDD temp never seen before

      Need guidance on diagnostics - large spike in HDD temp never seen before

      Hi All, I got an alert a little while back (flashing red ring on the front) to say internal temp (HDD?) was too high. I checked it out , expecting a small rise over the threshold which on a hot day can occur but I found this. between 10 and 11pm the HDD temp reading "says" it went from 47 deg...

      How to secure Samba share access

      Just wanted to check if there has been any further progress on this. I have infact moved on to the beta SMB package (3.6.25-1). I'd like to add an extra user. do I need to follow this comment about adding it into the passwd file: How do I add it into /etc/passwd. Through a normal text editor?
