    DM8000 HD - DM 800 HD HARD DISK HDD ISSUE (Gemini image 5.1)


    You get that message when you hit the recording button :


    Free Disk-size too small !!!
    < 100MB
    (in French " Espace libre disque trop petit <100Mb " )
    even if you have correctly formatted a 2 Tb hard disk.


    Cause : The /media/hdd link does not point to the correct disk path


    Solution :


    Check first the video recording disk label
    Hit the Blue Button, then select Peripheral Manager.
    Press OK on the listed HDD instance. It will show the HD mounting point
    Take note of that mounting point.
    (for example, if the disk label is dmdisk, the mounting point is /media/dmdisk)


    Double check if the disk is properly mounted.
    To do that within the Peripheral Manager, hit again the Blue button to enter the Menu.
    Check if you have the "unmount" option only, which means that the disk is mounted.
    (If you have the mount option only, select that option to mount the disk and don't forget to completely reboot your Dreambox after mounting the disk)


    Exit that menu to return to normal viewing.


    Hit the MENU button on the RCU, then "Setup", "System" and finally "Recording path".
    You will see that the bookmark is likely set to /hdd/movie.
    Using the Bouquet up button, to go up in the file tree, navigate to /media/dmdisk
    (change dmdisk according to your hdd label)
    Save the bookmark and exit that menu.


    You should now be able to record programs normally.
