There is so much information on the WiKi and forums that I found it difficult to find the the information i needed. I kept finding references to format with the box but although I did a

I have transferred all the programmes I want to keep on to a Linux PC via FTP (filezilla) but cannot find the info on how to get the CF to reformat a less than 1TB disk.
I also tried deleting programmes via FTP which caused at error then found the T2 had made the disk read only again.
Can...
I have always managed to FSCK to solve this type of problem over the years, this is the first time it hasn't for me.
No need to waste your bl**dy time replying.
My T2 again started to run slow and not record.
Have been sorting out a network problem but have done another fix-disk this afternoon which is attached.
I had a problem getting into maintenance mode so will be doing a backup soon!
To summarize, I could not record and pause which did not show a...
ATM I have no internet, the router is very warm and cannot get into the box, so need to sort this out before proceeding.
There's a fault on the network and BT have given a max 4 day completion time.
I will try and get the lan working over the weekend and post latest run.
Thursday evening it...
The attachment has a fix-disk date of 14th started 12:43 finished 12:51 when it was last done, I thought it was the latest!
I cleared a log.I file which is now empty. I cannot see any other fix-disk log files.
If I am doing something wrong let me know.
Later today I will do another fix-disk...
OK regarding NVM but i thought I would check and history.
Regarding fixdisk logs, I seem to have two files a fix-disk.0.log and fix-disk.1.log which I cleared.
I then checked the 0.log and its dated two days ago.
Attached is its contents as I said I did not think it got past 50% but I cannot...
Thanks for the replies, I will try another fixdisk as it was different the second time I ran it, just to see if it completes normally, if not I will do fsck on my Fedora box.
I questioned NVM as I have read it can fail after time.
With regards to log timestamp, I had another file and the one...
OK thanks for the info.
ATM I have no warnings and the HDD is not in read only mode .
Is it worth doing one (or more) fixdisks!?
Has this type of problem (disk H/W OK, fixdisk unable to correct FS) been seen before?
Before proceeding could you explain what else fixdisk runs (other than fsck)...
Just FYI it did run and I did not stop it. It got to about 50% and stopped with no errors. I agree that was not how it should have gone and have just noticed it did not record all of Eastenders, half way through it showed 15 minutes on the file but the wife said the indicator had only just gone...
It was set to multichannel and tried setting it to stereo (no PCM shown) and I lost all sound. I then realised I had not checked Humax sound volume directly, it was set to zero!
I am not sure if I set it or it somehow lost its setting during fsck. I think it's OK now but will need to thoroughly...
I ran it again it did not take as long but seemed to finish after 50%.
It had a lot of "Special (device/socket/fifo) inode xxxx has non-zero size fix? yes"
I rebooted out of maintenance mode and thought it was all fixed, faster R/C etc.
I have two transmitters tuned, one for main HD (Wales)...
Just did a fixdisk, there were lots of "Special (device/socket/fifo) inode xxxx has non-zero size fix? yes"
The fixdisk was much shorter thean the first time, it seem to have stopped around 50% completed but not sure.
I seem to have two log files, attached is what I think were the results.
I...
Will run fixdisk again this afternoon before proceeding.
Was it the "fixdisk" that made the HDD to be run in "read only"?
Will report on results before changing HDD
Thanks
I thought the "fixdisk" in maintenance mode (for a few hours) had resolved the problem but it has now re-appeared with more malfunctions and would appreciate a pointer as to what to try next.
I can still open the webi and can telnet into maintenance mode. The webif gives the following message...
I assume Red Ring package has the abbreviation RR in the crash logs, if so I forgot to mention there were 10 in the log all quite recent but not on the same day and all happened between 10-12munutes after booting!
I did not investigate further but assume there is a RR log, if anybody is...
Sorry I did not realize I had written on another thread or put in blanks.
I had a stroke a year ago and have problems with right finger triggering which sometimes results in hitting return and adding blank lines - should have checked.
