HDR-FOX T2 HDD Replacement

...sorry - ignore my previous post...a reboot has restored the web IF
phew.....

Ah sorry I'd forgotten than you specified cp -R rather than rsync.

No I didn't. Read the linked post in #130

Any ideas for how I can recover the web IF and start again?

Probably something like this to get rid of the mess:

humax# cd /media
humax# rm -r mod
humax# cd /mnt/hd2
humax# rm -r mod

and be very careful with "rm -r" that you're in the right place. I would disconnect your old drive first, just to prevent any unfortunate slip-ups.
Once you've tidied up, reboot, reconnect the drive and then execute the correct rsync command.

I wonder if it easier/safer to install the new disk into the caddy and copy from fully installed and and working webif environment to the new disk rather than booting with an empty disk and having to install rsync etc before copying can start.

Of course it is, but that means three disc swaps.

Hmmm...this is strange...I left rsync copying files last night and this morning it had stopped (presumably interrupted by the Humax powering itself off overnight). Now when I try to restart the rsync job I get:

rsync: not found

If I re-try the install I get this:

humax# opkg install rsync
Package rsync (3.0.8) installed in root is up to date.

???

Ah OK....maybe it hadn't reloaded my profile - I disconnected and reconnected the telnet session again and rsync is back...

The /mod folder should only take a matter of seconds, so I presume you were copying the video files as well.
Yes, remember to turn off the sleep option while doing long operations like the latter. The good thing is that you can just re-run the rsync command and it will pick-up where it left off.
