What is the exact command to check the disk in telnet ?

[jimfunk]

Vix 3.0.668

After doing a HD diskcheck in the Vu+ menu I get

Error
/dev/sdb1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. (i.e, without -a or -p options)

I telnet into Vu+ then unmounted and tried fsck but did not work, I think I read somewhere Vix doesn't use fsck?

What is the exact command to check the disk and fix errors in Vix?


Thanks

I do not know this image well as I've only just got a MIPS based RX. However, I know fsck.ext4 works. What format is your disk?

[jimfunk]

ext4
Disk WD 1TB

Here you got (with progress whilst in telnet):


init 4
umount -a
e2fsck -f -C 0 -v /dev/sdx1

It's important to init 4, as this will shutdown any processses that might be accessing the hdd. Then, unmount -a will unmount all devices (you could just umount /dev/sdx1).

sdx1 is the correct location of the device you are trying to run fsck on...

hth :)

Many thanks,

I ended up changing the disk and everything runs smoothly now, but I have a shed load of recordings on the old disk which need moving across.


I did see this

I have a powered external sata caddie
and wondered if you can use both internal & external sata at the same time because this looks the quickest way to transfer files between disks.

Im guessing it will work unless the controller is shared like I think it was in the Dm800

I looked at DMESG output. It reports two ports on different addresses so should be okay

Yes it works (2 disks on sata interfaces)
I'm in the process of transferring recordings with some success as the old disk has a fault.

i do simply,


fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1

fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1

Method I posted gives a visual of progress tho, so better if you're waiting to see when it finishes...

When I swapped out my 250Gb HDD for a 500Gb drive I plugged the new drive in the box and formatted it.

I then just plugged both the old and new in my PC, then booted up off a Ubuntu boot CD then simply used file explorer to copy and paste the files across.
