    I bought a Toshiba Canvio basic 1TB USB drive, with the intention of using it for recordings. I'm having a lot of trouble with initializing. I'm now formatting it externally with windows and EaseUS Partition Manager. Should I format Ext3 or Ext4? It was NTFS, but didn't want to initialize with my SF8008 with OpenEIGHT.

    I formatted mine with NTFS on the PC and then installed the NTFS-3G driver from the feeds and it all works ok. I am using various images from openatv 6.4 to 7.1 along with OBH and vix and the driver is on all images. This is on a vu+ solo 4k box and not the same as yours but assume it should work. This has the advantage that I can unplug the drive use on my PC/Mac also. You may have to reboot the box, not restart enigma to get it recognised.
