What are the options on fix-disk in maintenance mode? My parents HDR Fox T2 has been showing errors in the Humax disk checker for nearly two years, but no apparent effect in use. I've finally persuaded them to let me install custom firmware, and the box has a wired connection I put in under the floor to the router. I'm currently running fix-disk in Maintenance Mode from telnet, and it is coming up with a seemingly endless stream of blocks it is asking about eg.
Running short disk self test
Error at LBA 12094281
Do you wish to attempt repair of the bad block? [Y/N]: y
/dev/sda:
re-writing sector 12094281: succeeded
Is there an option to tell it to just fix everything it finds? And if there is, is it safe to interrupt this fix-disk and if so how?
The SMART data looked quite alarming. Over 3000 hours up time, and at least that many errors.
