No Recordings, No Disk Capacity?

Now connected direct to my motherboard. HDD from a FVP-4000T, Seagate ST1000VM002 (1TB).

So presumably the first thing you are doing is a long Smart test?
Has anyone ever posted any details of the disk layout for one of these boxes? Partitions, filesystems etc.
I don't recall, but then I'm not really that interested as I'll probably never see one.

Here are the details gleaned by GParted:

It seemed to slug my Mint start-up, but the BIOS recognised it in the SATA table, and the system does boot eventually with this disk connected. It seems intact. Now for a long test...
 
Extended SMART test completed without errors. I think this is a working drive, 22k hours on it. If it doesn't work when I put it back, the suspicion falls on the FVP's SATA.
 
You need to do sudo e2fsck /dev/sdd1 and likewise for the other partitions to check the filesystems.
It might be interesting to run sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdd1 and likewise also, just for info, before the e2fsck.

Got a spare disk to try?
 
First of all, there's a directory dump attached in case anyone finds it of use for understanding how the FVP-4000T operates, all four partitions.

As for e2fsck, nothing to see here:

It's weird there is a Recordings folder (where the off-air recordings are) and a Media > Recordings folder (empty). The .ts files appear to be encrypted.
