The problem i'm having is that i'm having to take off the cover to the box and taking off the leads to the hdd because, the hdd stops working (it wont pause or rec etc). Could anyone help me please?

    Is the HDD mounted correctly? Blue button, ViX and Mount manager.

    I pressed the blue button & got to mount manager, the hdd is highlighted so i don't know if it's mounted. How do i know if it's mounted?

    It should say Mount: /media/hdd and Type: ext4 R/W?

    If you don't mind formatting your hard drive again then I would be tempted to unmount your hdd, then initialise your hdd via Menu > Setup > System > Storage Devices and red button to initialise (which is basically formatting), then I would blue button > ViX > Mount Manager > and setup a mount again and when asked, reboot your receiver when prompted.

    When thats done I would store EPG data to your hard drive if you haven't already. Store PICONS to your internal flash if you have any and in your TimeShift settings set "automatically start timeshift after" to 20 seconds. Timeshift location should be set to /media/hdd/timeshift and I always have "show warning when timeshift is stopped" set to NO, thats my personal preference and then green button to save. It wouldn't hurt to restart your receiver again at this point.
    Then try some recordings, pausing live tv etc.

    On a couple of occasions my ET10K has booted up with no HDD.

    I've attached a crash log, but I guess it will only show that there's no HDD.

    When updating the image my ET10k always loses the HDD UNTIL a off/on with the mains voltage restores a fully working system.

    Thanks - that could be a very good clue as I was checking out an earlier image.

    It came back ok after a deep standby, rather than a mains reset, though.

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen every time. I had flashed Hades without problems, and the moved back to 3.2.005 when the HDD went AWL.

    Sods law. Since I posted that I've lost my hard disk on my ET10K twice now. A reboot by way of an on/off at the mains switch and the hard disk is seen by my box again without me having to anything else. I don't know in what circumstance it goes missing but one one of these occasions it was missing when coming out of deep standby.

    I had one yesterday evening, for no obvious reason. Nearly lost a whole night's recordings, but spotted it in time.

    Time for a boot up script which checks that the hdd is online, and if not reboots, me thinks.

    Something like

    Code:
    if ! test -d /media/hdd ;
    then init 3
    fi
    Is init 3 the right one to do a full reboot??

    Or maybe there's a better way of doing it.

    (Not doing too well at the moment - only 3 tuners out of 4 work at any one time, hdd sometimes goes missing, and box fails to go into deep standby after recordings.)
