Hi Guys,

I want to use PVR using USB Drive and I want to know how to mount and format a drive using Telnet.

Please can someone confirm if the procedure below is correct.

mkfs.ext3 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /media/usb/

mkfs.ext3 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /media/usb/

cd /media/usb
mkdir movie

Thanks

Thanks appc777

I like to know how things work without using the GUI.

So can anyone please confirm if the above Telnet commands are correct for mounting and formatting a USB HDD.

Thanks in advance.
