WebIf always saying no disk space

Using network-shares-automount (Samba/SMB-cifs), I recently archived a couple of smallish recordings to one of my HDR-Fox recorders. It had about 6GiB free, less the copy of about 0.9GiB, but checking later, the recordings showed 0 byte file size and the WebIf free space went to "Free: 0 bytes (1%)".

I deleted the zero byte files and another larger recording to free up space, but the webif free space stayed the same!
I ran fixdisk (several times, after removing more recordings). However, while fixdisk shows more free space, WebIf summary still shows the same "Free: 0 bytes (1%)".

SMART show OK, and there are no reallocations.
Last fixdisk log showed sda2: "115005514 blocks used (96.47%, out of 119209984)"

Any ideas what I should do to resolve this problem?

p.s. streaming of several test recording is still working OK.
Also, prior to the copy, I had updated the packages but I forget what it/they were.
 
What does it do without network-shares-automount ?
You'll need to provide the output from these commands run at the command line:
Code:
humax# /mod/bin/busybox/stat -f -c "%S %b %f" /mnt/hd2
humax# /mod/webif/html/diskspace/diskspace.jim
And what version of WebIf ?

(And on a separate topic, I'm interested in your no. 1 machine with an Unknown loader version. What does it say on the on-screen interface?)

What does it do without network-shares-automount ?
Do you mean record something locally?
I was copying from humax4 to humax2 (using Blue/Storage: USB)

p.s. I have today, before this updated another package (tv-diary) which appears to have installed OK.
Maybe that's why it now says 0% instead of 1%?

I've updated my Signature. I've now 4 HDR-Fox machines.

But I don't think I've seen this on the Humax4 source machine.
All machines are set to boot the LCN:100.Freeview (to reduce load).

I meant either disable or uninstall it temporarily, to rule out side-effects.

That looks reasonable, but a bit confused how free space ends at zero. Can you try some jimsh commands and report, like this example:
Code:
humax# jimsh
Welcome to Jim version 0.81
. source /mod/webif/lib/setup
jscss
. require system.class
. system diskspace

. exit
before this updated another package (tv-diary) which appears to have installed OK.
Maybe that's why it now says 0% instead of 1%?
Unlikely I'd have thought (famous last words).

Not relevant.

p.s. Menu|Data Storage says:

& diags pass OK.

But I don't think I've seen this on the Humax4 source machine.
That's because the streaming buffer on Humax2 has something in it (probably from an iPlayer operation, possibly some time ago), while Humax4 doesn't.
 
"Reserved: 72GB" looks weird. Should be 20GB, like in the two system diskspace outputs? How does the settop program determine "Reserved"?

Maybe the output of dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 (and for HDR: ...sda2, ...sda3) would be useful.

"Reserved: 72GB" looks weird. Should be 20GB,
Checked two other PVR's (Humax1 & 4) and they are also showing the same reserved 72.6GB.

...sdb2 and ...sdb3, not ...sd2, etc.

/dev/sdb1 has housekeeping files. That looks fine.
/dev/sdb2 is the one that has the recordings and is shown in the disk space statistics, so what we're really interested in.
/dev/sdb3 stores files streamed by eg the iPlayer app.

[Yes, except all the output and not just the 1st line - you can use triple backquotes to wrap the code text too]

Right, to quote the Fourth Yorkshireman.

The Reserved value shown in the on-screen display is tosh (tldr; reserved = disk_size/GB - video_partition_size/GiB + reserved_TSR_buffer_size/GiB !).

Block count: 119209984
Reserved block count: 5960516
Free blocks: 4204475

So:
  • disk (partition): 476839936 bytes = 454.75 GiB
  • file system reserved blocks: 24414273536 bytes = 22.74GB
  • free space: 17221529600 bytes = 16.04GiB

Again
That looks reasonable, but a bit confused how free space ends at zero.

As almost everything is uid 0 in this system, the filesystem reserved blocks value is not relevant.

The calculation for the other values shown on-screen was also inferred (where 20GiB is the reserved TSR buffer size):
The Available Size shown is: <free space on recording partition> - (20GiB - <current size of TSR buffer)
The Used Size shown is: <used space on recording partition> + (20GiB - <current size of TSR buffer)

This means that if something has happened that truncates the TSR buffer more free space can be shown than will be available after some time watching the same channel.

Tell that to the young people of today and they'll not believe you.
 
. system diskspace
{447.6 GiB} {431.56 GiB} 96 {16.04 GiB} 4 {20 GiB} {234.23 MiB}
Your TSR buffer should be 20 GiB but is only 234 MiB for whatever reason, which probably means it won't work.
The WebIf calculations remove the TSR reserved space (20 GiB) when calculating the apparent free space.
As you only have 16 GiB free, which is obviously less than 20, then you effectively have no space.
Either turn off the TSR buffer (using diagnostic tsr/disable), which should give you your 16GiB free space back, or delete some more stuff to make more than 20 GiB available, which may make the TSR work, along with the rest of the calculations.

Basically the disk is full.
