View Log Files missing

[DaveQ]

On my 2 T2s, one Diag has View Log Files, but it is absent on the other one.

Is your WebIF version up-to-date? Check the bottom right of the main WebIF page, should be 1.4.8-1.

 

[DaveQ]

yep it is

Are you viewing in a narrow browser window and/or using a different font size?
The browser can rearrange the position of elements if there is insufficient width in the window - scroll down
eg

 

[DaveQ]

no, that looks OK

Any messages in webif-error.log?

Not so easy without the logs list but from a humax command prompt

cat /var/log/webif-error.log  
cat /var/log/webif.log

Is this the unit that was showing trouble before? Maybe the HDD is on the way out...

 

[DaveQ]

Yes, it was the troublesome unit.

All the log files give a read error.

Tried to edit them, just a blank window. Other files I can see eg mod/etc/anacrontab

Time for fix-disk

 

[DaveQ]

Its now appeared, after a couple of re-boots.
Some log entries have dates of 1971.
Will do fixdisk once massive file copy completes.
What i am doing is copying all the T2 recordings to the FVP-5000. Its a bit cumbersome, as have to go via a 128gb pen drive, so I first compressed everything - decrypt, shrink, detectads/crop, which has taken a couple of days.
I now see that T2 can be visible as a network drive on the FVP, so could just transfer from the dodgy T2.

 

[MymsMan]

decrypt, shrink, detectads/crop, which has taken a couple of days.

Cropping also shrinks the recording so it was unnecessary to shrink as a separate step.
It would also have been better to copy the files first even if a bit larger rather than to stress a suspect disk with a lot of extra read/write operations
