  • hey guys, just updated my duo running vix 3.0 with the latest build


    when i rebooted my internal HDD shows but it says size 'unavailable' and type 'unavailable' and mount 'none'


    when i try to setup the hdd mount, the box just crashes


    the mount was perfect before i tried to update to the latest build


    my HDD is full of recordings and i really dont want to initialise it because i will lose everything


    any ideas guys on how to remount my HDD without losing everything?


    Cheers

  • turn off, remove all external USB devices - turn on - go to menu - setup - vix- mount manager - green button to set up mount - and mount it to /media/hdd - and press green to save, then restart system. Only things I can think of if this doesn't work is if the filesystem for some reason isn't compatible, and that when you update from Vix 2.x to 3.0 - it will not be compatible with any backup you have done from your previous install, so if you have used your settings backups from your earlier version it will break the image and you will need to reflash.

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....

  • thanks for your reply bud, i was already on vix 3.0 but just updated to a newer build (stable)


    just done as you suggested and removed my USB stick, restarted and then the box crashed again and now it wont let me mount the USB stick either


    hmmm

  • maybe the drive is formatted in ntfs - if that is the case then log in to your receiver on telnet and try the following;


    Code
    opkg install ntfs-3g


    reboot and fingers crossed!
