Hi
Im using a recent Blackhole image on my vu+duo, and have 1 hdd 1.5 tb installed externally to Esata, and I have now istalled a second 2tb HDD internally to SATA. Both are mounted and working, and the box can see both drives. One is mounted to SDA1 and the other is SDB1 and both are /media/HDD. My problem is I can only use one drive at a time, but want to use both.
My 1.5tb esata external drive is full, so I want to be able to record to the new internal drive, but still be able to play back films from my external drive. This does not seem possible as I can only use one drive at a time. I do this by changing the mount point of one of the drives to a different setting, and then the remaining drive is the one in use. For example:
My Esata external HDD is mounted to /media/cf -- I cannot record to this drive or see the content to play back.
My Sata internal HDD is mounted to /media/hdd -- I can see content on this drive, play and record to it.
When I put them both drives on /media/hdd, I can only record and playback from one of the drives, Im not sure how the system decides which drive that will be, perhaps it to do with SDA1 and SDB1, I guess it sees SDA1 first ?
Im sure its probable a simple fix for someone that knows, but its driving me mad, that every time I want to playback off one HDD I have to change the mount points !!
Can anyone tell me if its possible to use both drives at the same time, or am I fighting a looseing battle ?
Thanks
