1. Fixdisk repeatedly unable to find partition 1
  
  Nice one. Yep I'm good with all the rest of that, it was just /tmp being in RAM that was the missing puzzle piece. Thanks! I'll give this a try again tomorrow.

2. Fixdisk repeatedly unable to find partition 1
  
  I need a bit of assistance. Editing and running the modified scripts via cli is fine. But where/how can I access a safely writable part of the filesystem (to store the modified scripts)? Also, do you recommend I always be in Maintenance mode for these?

  Hi, OP here. Thanks all for the detailed discussion. I'd just hopped on here to have a go at editing the script, and hadn't expected so many new messages! I'm going to give that smartctl command a try. I'm not sure how long to expect it to take, but I'll post the output back here either later...

  Looks like you were right about me being a bit too late with the fixdisk to have a backup: cat: can't open '/var/lib/humaxtv_backup/partition/*': No such file or directory Thanks for the idea though (and this will definitely encourage me to run fixdisk more often in future). Regarding the...

  Hi, My Humax showed the fateful Error Code 8 yesterday. I installed the custom firmware, booted into Maintenance mode, and ran fixdisk from the menus. The first run of fixdisk took many, many hours (had to do the long scan), seemed to repair many block I/O errors, but finished with the...
