TV guide speed drop/improvement
I think I had 6 or 7 working items in the schedule and 3 or 4 items that were no longer recording (as a season had ended). I do not believe the custom firmware caused the problem. Merely my choice of standard humax settings (i.e. always on) which happened to coincide with the custom firmware...- gebbly

TV guide speed drop/improvement
Hi All, tl;dr - Regular power down to standby could improve tv guide performance. Just thought I'd pop this in here in case it helps anyone. Last year I installed the custom firmware which ran like a charm. Towards the end of the year I noticed the guide was getting slower and slower, painfully...- gebbly

network-shares-automount showing empty mounted directory
Right then. Significant progress. TL;DR - Its the Humax at fault I have just got my old Raspberry Pi up and running. I ran the command : mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nolock 192.168.1.11:/srv/nfs/ext /tmp/pc The Pi connected and I was immediately able to do "ls" and see the contents of the remote...- gebbly

network-shares-automount showing empty mounted directory
So I tried various commands to view the contents of a directory last night (which all work on the pc) dir, less, vi, echo. they all report the directory as empty.

network-shares-automount showing empty mounted directory
"but fsid itself isn't specific to NFS 4, which is why it stopped the stale file handles with my router's NFS 3" Thanks, I hadn't realised this at all! Obviously I still have some learning to go.

network-shares-automount showing empty mounted directory
I had a quick read of https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-nfs-server-config-exports.html down the bottom of the page, section 18.7.1.1. So one entry in exports has fsid=0 to set it as root. However if your current setup is working for you its probably worth just leaving...- gebbly

network-shares-automount showing empty mounted directory
Thanks for the info Chimeland. I'll see if I can replicate your setup tonight. A bit more tinkering last night showed that doing "ls" on the Humax box in any directory that has no files in it will not list the "." and ".." entries like any normal linux installation so that explains why I don't...- gebbly

network-shares-automount showing empty mounted directory
I know the ArchServer and Humax can see each other because they can ping each other.

So there is definately a connection between the 2...- gebbly

The output from the fixdisk is below. There are a few time captures in it.
