     Humax says it crashed multipled times in a short amount of time but I was listening to music during that time (via SMB)

     ...is an odd one. If the file is corrupted or deleted, then that smacks of disk problems. You should run a long SMART test as part of the fixdisk process. It's worth installing CF 3.14 (via the custom-firmware-hdr package or USB stick) or the fix-disk package first - you can then do the SMART...

     When running fixdisk instead of displaying Pass1 (or 2 etc.) and the "percentage" complete for that pass the front panel display now displays just "hmx_int_stor" for each Pass. Could that changed have been triggered by the new CF or has there been an update to fixdisk fairly recently which is...

     Fixdisk

     Hi everyone, I think the answer is no, but I’m hoping. On the Foxsat, if you leave/kicked out of a telnet session while running Fixdisk, can you reconnect as with the T2. If not how can you tell when it’s done? Thanks

      Presume you've already done the obvious i.e. run fixdisk in maintenance mode, and done a diag fix-flash-packages and then rebooted.
