The automated buffer does not record

[mihaid]

I noticed a few times now on turning on the t2 that the buffer does not work, no pause rewind possible.

Is there a log to watch now while it's happening?

Run "fixdisk" from maintenance mode first.

 

[mihaid]

fixdisk got stuck at 32.9%

what to do now?

update:

it is possible my telnet got disconnected by the 15.15 scheduled turnoff in schedule?

 

[Trev]

How long has it been stuck for? Apparently it sometimes takes hours on a disk that has lots of errors.

 

[mihaid]

whatever happened, the t2 can now be paused so I suppose it's been fixed?

Run fixdisk again to make sure you have cleared all errors.

Is there a way to check the first fix disk has been interrupted or ran its course?

 

[prpr]

No, not if the machine has been to sleep. Just run it again. If there's nothing to do, it won't do anything. You may wish to add the -P option when prompted to skip the SMART check.

 

[prpr]

No, not if the machine has been to sleep.

Mis-remembering. The fixdisk logs get put in /mnt/hd3, so you can browse with the WebIf's file editor.

Yeah, I had found it but it doesn't give time details.

I found also that it is logged in the disk smart log and that does have the time of today and lists it as successful.

Probably the 15.15 turn off only cut my telnet session off but the machine carried on with fixdisk

 

[Black Hole]

I'm not clear whether the timers work when the machine is booted into maintenance mode. Anybody confirm?

Er, no. Off is off.

 

[mihaid]

Er, no. Off is off.

well, that's not what I saw.

when it rebooted in maintenance mode it had a still bbc1 picture the sound was working and that stayed the same all throughout fixdisk. that's why I assumed.

 

[mihaid]

fixdisk got stuck at 32.9%

what to do now?

I thought of running fixdisk again and it was progressing at about 1% every few seconds.

now it stopped again at 32.9%

what shall I do?

 

[af123]

Wait for it to finish.

 

[mihaid]

Wait for it to finish.

pheeeeeeeeew.

when I saw the same percentage I thought something was amiss. it's now at 42%.

thank you af.
