Hi all.
If you've seen my other post you'll know I'm struggling with an epg problem.
That means I've not yet used the box for any recordings, apart from one to check that the feature worked.

My other issue is the use of HDD space, I've just clicked on PVR now to check and it stands at 32% remaining. What's happening?
The only way to get it all back is to completely cut power to the box.

It's a 500gb drive, installed at purchase. I followed instructions for initialise and checked in vix / mount manager, it's mounted as: /media/hdd and ext4 R/W.
I set up swap file, menu/setup/vix/swap manager, select media/hdd, create swap file 256 mb. Activate, autostart and exit.

That's all I've done apart from trying to set up my epg's as explained in the other thread.

Elsewhere I've seen suggestions turning off 'timeshift' may cure this, others say not. Still, not an ideal solution and anyway what's going to happen to that space when I do start making recordings?
Any help or suggestions gratefully received, thanks.

A swap file on the OS Mega. Seriously? Thats doing more harm than good I tell ya. Best thing to do is start a fresh. Setup as new. And without a SWAP FILE.

Thanks Andy, as you can probably tell from this and my other thread I'm new to this and trying to learn by following instructions on forums, threads and videos all over the place.
I'm getting close but not quite there yet, appreciate the advice.

I you're familiar with telnet, the command

find /media/hdd -type f -size +50000k -exec ls -lh {} \;

may tell you what's eating up your hdd.

This seems to be an "initial problem" with EDISION OS MEGA because i had exactly the same issue within a week of my purchase.
It seems like the receiver somehow struggles to correctly read the available HDD space

Mine did the same initially I found going into setup/system/storage devices and running filesystem check sorted it eventually.

I am having exactly the same problem as the OP with my OS Mega. I bought it with a 1TB hdd from WoS a couple of weeks ago. I was not looking for the problem, but it was hard not to notice when hdd free space went from 99% to 33% after leaving it on for a few days, with just a few recordings.

I have found that:
1) huge hdd space loss will occur: a) with timeshift on, or b) when recording, or c) pausing a programme with the remote control even if timeshift has been switched off and no recording is on
2) directing timeshift or swap directories to a 16GB usb stick formatted in ext4 had no effect on rapid space loss; examining files/directories in the usb stick indicated that the redirections did work
3) reinitialising the hdd, again to ext4, has no effect
4) disabling swap, as Andy suggested above, has no effect
5) if timeshift is off, no recording is on, and I do not touch the pause button, i.e. just keeping the box on, it is fine and free disc space stays constant, for OpenVix 5.0.002 anyway
6) puttying 'ls -alR' on the hdd shows no file size that can explain the hdd space loss
7) puttying 'ls -alR | more' from root shows nothing of significant size either, except kcore in ./proc which is ~2GB
8) Recorded file sizes seem normal
9) running filesystem check (fsck) on the hdd, or restarting the box, are effective to return the lost space in full, but do not fix the problem

It would therefore seem timeshifting, recording or pausing a programme leaves huge orphan hdd space. Because it is not visible by 'ls -a' but is dealt with by fsck, it might be a system software issue? Help!

Cheers!

If you aren't running out of physical memory it won't be used, so won't be a problem. If you are running out of memory then you have a problem anyway.

I was able to do a filesystem check on the hdd by ensuring a) swap file and timeshift directories were pointing to a mounted USB stick in ext4, and b) no programme recording was on. But there is no point in going through all the trouble - the problem of hdd space loss remains after the filesystem check in my experience, all it did was to reclaim the lost space until it gets gobbled up again through box use, and you can reclaim lost space easier by a restart.

Sorry I have never been here before so please forgive my ignorance, would somebody associated with WoS/Edision be exploring and addressing the issue now?

I have 2 folders on my hdd one named movie and another called timeshift and my recording path is media/hdd/movie, timeshift path is media/hdd/timeshift. This seems to differ from other peoples path and I wonder if this has any effect on my results. My hdd is correctly reported as approx 300 gb it is a 320 gb but once space for filesystem is taken into account 300gb is about right. Last night I recorded 2 programmes about 2 hours or so of hd and space dropped by 8gb. Wife watched first programme and deleted it and space went back up by 4gb again about right. Also as mentioned this was not happening before I ran fsck instead I had errors only showing 32 % of space, since running fsck 5 days ago no errors at all. Also I have not updated to Vix 5 yet and I am still on 4.2.030 if this has any bearing on results.

I was on 4.2.030, and had/have the same movie and timeshift directory structure as you do.

I wonder if you still have timeshift on (because I think it can increase the rate of hdd space loss dramatically), and I also wonder if you are still losing hdd space. To test the second conjecture, you could:
1) jot down the size of disc free space in Menu / Information / Device
2) observe the size of a sizeable recording that is to be deleted, either by looking up the size of a relevant .ts* file in hdd/movie/ using Filezilla, or through the Info button when pointing at the .ts file using the Dream-Explorer PlugIn under Menu / PlugIns.
3) delete the recording from Planner
4) wait 15 minutes, because it takes a few minutes for the system to release deleted file space
5) observe the size of disc free space again in Menu / Information / Device. If the difference is well accounted for by the file size observed in step 2, then you obviously have no disc space loss issue. Otherwise, you probably have.
6) You can further establish the extent of disc space loss by a Menu / Standby and Restart / Restart. If the disc freespace after the restart is more than what you have found in step 5, then again you are likely to have the disc freespace loss issue.

Cheers!

* the size of all the other files with the same name are tiny in comparison

Mine is fine and everything works as it should now, I was curious if the OP had the same structure on his hdd as mine and if not why are the folders not present.

Appreciate all the advice, thanks to speedygonzal for your posts and trying out all that, telnet & using PuTTY is all new to me and I haven't quite got my head round it yet, so while it might not have been a success it saved me a lot of trial & error.
Filezilla is also new to me but I've been trying to learn and I'm going to try and follow what you ask above. I'll set it to record something tonight and report back.

1999gtv I've disabled timeshift and today whilst trying to sort out my epg I've had no issues, prior to this I was getting as low as 32% without making any recordings.
I'm on 5.0.0002 and appear to only have 1 folder on my hdd (media/hdd) I had 2 yesterday with a bookmark? Has turning timeshift off got rid of this? As I've said I'm in uncharted waters here and really not got a clue what I'm on about.

1999gtv
13-03-17, 21:06
Haven't got round to 5.0.002 yet as mine is working ok on vix 4.2.030 (don't want to break a good setup by updating when it isn't necessary). Speedygonzal has given you some good advice to follow it sounds quite daunting when you are new to these boxes but is not as bad as it sounds and becomes clearer as you actually do it. I have only been using E2 boxes for about 18 months and found everything difficult at first but once you get the hang of it you will find yourself doing it without any problem. The good people on this forum are always willing to help when you get stuck. I really am not sure why you are having this many issues with your hdd I am guessing your problem may be different to mine. As I mentioned I had initial issues but these have been resolved for me by doing the steps from a few posts back. I cannot remember if I created the folders myself using dream explorer downloaded from the plugins section or whether they were there already. I have just tried turning timeshift off and still have both folders. Give Speedygonzals suggestions a try just take you time and don't rush, I will do a full backup tonight and try 5.0.002 tomorrow to see if I get same issue as you.

I do hope sincerely that yours is working fine 1999gtv, because that might mean there is a relatively easy fix for many machines that are like mine, and are losing disc space like they are going out of fashion.

I wonder if you would mind doing me a favour...

Assuming that you have been recording and deleting programmes since the last Restart/reboot of the machine, if you go into Menu / Information / Devices and look up the Free space for /media/hdd, then restart the machine by Menu / Standby and Restart / Restart, then look for the same Free space figure, are the numbers the same before and after the restart?

I am asking because the fundamental symptom of the problem, as far as I can see, is that orphan disc space is created by timeshift, by recording, and by pressing the pause button on the remote (even if timeshift is off), and such orphan disc space is restored/reclaimed by a restart.

Another question if I may, when you said you ran fsck 5 days or so ago, did you run it from Menu / Setup / System / Storage devices / Filesystem check, or did you actually putty/telnet/etc. into the system and execute a fsck command?

Cheers!

Ok done as requested and hdd size is 312.37 gb ,free space 299.87 gb. After reboot hdd size is 312.37gb , free space is 303.58gb about 3.5gb more. Box has been running since 4.30 pm and 3 recordings have been done and 2 watched and deleted plus some pausing of live tv. Hope this helps

14-03-17, 01:00
To add to previous post I will leave box in standby overnight and turn on when I get home from work tomorrow, record and delete some random stuff and make a note at each stage of space used and space available followed by another reboot and see if there are any major differences. just saw your edit and answer is via menu/setup/system/storage devices/ Filesystem check

Thanks very much 1999gtv. What your result suggests, is that you are also losing hdd freespace unfortunately, though not at the vast rate as some of us experienced or are experiencing, and like us you are also able to reclaim lost space by a restart.

Like you I also did the fsck on the hdd via the menu a couple of days ago, it did not take away the problem.

My experiments are also indicating that the rate of freespace getting "lost" not only appears to be dependent on box use, but also settings - e.g. timeshift seems to make it worse. It is however difficult to keep track of the effect of changes, given I have tried many variations, but I have yet to find a Vix version, a drive setup, or settings that stop the problematic phenomenon altogether except don't record and don't turn on timeshift and don't touch the pause button on the remote, which I found to allow the freespace to stay constant between restarts, but imho it is not acceptable that one has to forego such functions to lessen the problem.

Cheers!

Have you tried yet to find out what is using up disc space?
I you're familiar with telnet, the command

find /media/hdd -type f -size +50000k -exec ls -lh {} \;

may tell you what's eating up your hdd.

(Pressing pause on live tv starts up timeshift, and rebooting will empty the disc space timeshift has used, and recordings use up disc space as well.)

Yes. The list, which may not be exclusive, includes 1) recording programmes, 2) enabling timeshift, and 3) pause even when timeshift is disabled.

I have also tried pointing timeshift to a usb stick instead while it was enabled, which showed me that timeshift files were normal, the issue appears to be that the 3 activities above leave orphan hdd disc space behind, which is invisible to 'ls-a', but is reclaimed by fsck or a restart.

Recording programmes of course use up disc space. The issue is after they are deleted not all the used space is returned, and can only be recovered by fsck or restart. Programme file size looks normal. As an illustration, if free space is 800GB (from menu setup information device), you might find 790GB left after recording a 5GB programme (observed by Filezilla, puttying ls, or the Dream-Explorer plugin), and deleting the programme leaves you with only 795GB free space. You will get the missing 5B back after a restart.

I am speculating, those activities might have used codes that claim hdd disc space (not files, hidden or otherwise, somehow) as workspace, but fail to release the space properly after use.

which is invisible to 'ls-a', but is reclaimed by fsck or a restart.If it's reclaimed by a restart then something has a (large) file open that has been deleted. The space won't be freed until the file is closed, which will happen on a restart (and in the meantime the process that has it open can still write to it and use more filespace).

You can find open-but-deleted files by running a find command on the box (which I'll work out if you're interested in running it).

I agree what you describe sounds like exactly what is happening... I was a unix system administrator decades ago, on a multiuser system that is considerably less powerful than any low-end phone today :), so my command of unix/linux is extremely sparse and rusty, to say the least. You are very kind!

Run this script (I think - not near a box at the moment, but it's fairly generic):


#!/bin/sh
#
cd /proc
for l in [0-9]*/fd/*; do
( /bin/ls -l $l | grep '(deleted)$') 2>/dev/null
done

Thanks again all. I did what speedygonzalez suggested last night and here's what I found.
No other recordings are on the HDD. Timeshift is off. I started with 487gb available. I recorded a 30 minute HD prog. Looked using Filezilla the size of the recording is 1.11gb.
I pressed the PVR button it said 93% / 435gb remaining. Using the Menu/Information/Devices it said 445gb was remaining.
I deleted, waited several hours before checking and whilst Filezilla shows nothing my HDD available space remains the same.
I had to reboot and in doing so for some reason I've lost all my epg settings, yeah all them days (see other forum).
I don't know if this means anything but the pvr button now reads 99% but only 464gb available, devices method says 475gb.

I really don't know what to do now.

Follow up on my earlier post for speedygonzalez. Did some playing today and pausing live tv seems to use large amounts of disk space about 1gb per minute is reported as used, based on 15 minute pause 15gb less space shown in devices. Then tried timeshift approx 5gb used in 10 minutes approx half the rate of use compared to pausing live tv. Once I resume playback on live tv or switch channel I get no further space loss but space is not recovered until fsck or reboot. Also with timeshift turned off I get no additional space used either but still not recovered till reboot or fsck. Recordings seem to be a different matter around 2.5 to 3 gb space is used for an hours hd recording dependent on channel used to record from. Once I delete the recording my space returns without any need to reboot etc

I've turned off timeshift just to save space

Have just tried a bit more experimentation, I plugged a 128gb usb/hdd into rear usb port this I had formatted on my pc to ext3. Went into setup/vix/mount-manager and mounted as usb, went to timeshift settings and set location for timeshift as the usb drive I had just mounted, checked information/devices and exactly 120gb free. Then I tried pause of live tv on hd channel and left it for 15 minutes before checking information/devices which stated 650mb had been used 119.35 gb free. Went back to tv and switched channels then back to information/devices and free space now shown as 120gb. Next tried timeshift on hd channel for approx same period of time and again around 650mb of space had been used, then disabled timeshift followed by channel change and return to information/devices to find disk space had again returned to 120gb. None of the unusual issues of disappearing hdd space were present, apart from location ie external usb rather than internal hdd the only difference in set up is my internal hdd is ext4 compared to the ext3 format I just tried. Is it the type of filesystem used causing issues

I might have misunderstood what you are saying, but I have already tried pointing timeshift to a USB stick a couple of days ago. Like you what I found was the freespace in the usb stick behaved normally as expected, and the timeshift files in the stick looked perfectly normal also. However, the space loss issue remains, at the internal hdd.

I think what happens, is as long as you have an internal hdd, the system would still use the hdd as workspace, irrespective where the timeshift directory is, and it is the release of the invisible workspace after use, not the timeshift files, that is buggy, and is causing the hdd space loss.

Cheers!

Conversely it would be great if we can find even a single machine not suffering these problem when properly tested, because we can then try the image, and identify what the difference might be.

Unfortunately, while some posters indicated in earlier posts that their machines were fine, they actually aren't, when tested and measured.

There are now actually 3 threads, two are here as you say - I am sorry if I shouldn't have started the Vix Support thread this morning - I thought it is the proper way to get official support?

And while they're at is running "dmesg" to see whether there are any unusual kernel message would also be useful.

I have just done that. The hdd used and free space correspond with what is shown in OpenWebIf.

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
ubi0:rootfs 434.9M 71.2M 363.7M 16% /
devtmpfs 277.5M 4.0K 277.5M 0% /dev

/dev/sda1 931.3G 60.5G 869.8G 7% /media/hdd

The sizes found also correspond with what I have reported in the Support thread here (taken from Setup / Information / Devices page's figures), if one accounts for the binary to base 10 conversion, i.e. 1TB expressed as 931.3g.

One thing dmesg says is "1.00 TB/932 GiB", which might be part of the answer?

One thing dmesg says is "1.00 TB/932 GiB", which might be part of the answer?That's just the difference between TB (10^12) and GiB (1024^3).

That's just the difference between TB (10^12) and GiB (1024^3).
I know, but maybe ViX, or whatever, is using both forms in different contexts.

Not very good if you've already got 1tb of recordings you want your keep though is it?

Like everything to do with data that you want to protect/keep, you should keep a backup ....so perhaps a good time to start?
