View Full Version : Et10k-Mounting of Hdd Size Incorrect
Hi Everyone, I have a Et10k and had connected through Usb a 5Tb Hdd. But in Mount Manager, it only reads as having a size of 2.86Tb. Due to this, I am not able to transfer a 449Gb folder over to it. The image installed is VIX v028. Please help. Thanks very much
Press green button to setup mounts correctly.
Hi Sicilian, thanks for your reply.
The hdd which is MD04ACA500 of size 5Tb was already mounted through USB, please see attached picture previously. But the Stb read the size as 2.86Tb which is incorrect.
i have found out before size of my 8gb usb kingston said it was 1tb and my hdd internal was 7gb.
unmount both and setup again as size should then be correct.
Hi Cactikid, thanks for your reply.
It’s still the same. I think it can only read a maximum capacity of 2.86Tb.
Masters of VIX image, could upgrade the reading capacity please
Thanks & Best Regards

Nothing to do with OpenViX, will be a driver issue.
The WD web site says that you have a 3TB disk (WD3003), which is why it says 2.86TB. The 5TB model is WD5001........ or someone has changed the label on the disk, because internally the software is reading it as model WD3003 ... see your picture
.... and as the 5TB sells for a higher price than the 3TB could be a good reason.
.....I think it's the MD04ACA500 usb drive which is 5TB.

Thanks ..... must learn to read in more detail!!
@Bumperbee - Apologies for looking at wrong drive!!
So going back to the USB DRIVE (:):) ) - how was it initialised and on what system?
The size of the raw device isn't the same thing as the size of a file system you put onto it.
It's perfectly possible to put a 32MB file system (or, indeed, many thousands of them...were not talking sensible things here) onto an 8TB drive.
So, how did you create that ext4 file-system on the USB drive?
Thanks everyone for all your reply.
It was initially fix as an internal hdd, then I removed it to use as a backup and fix internally with a 3Tb hdd. So it was created and initialize by the box originally. As for the capacity of 5Tb, it is correct as my other box is reading it as it is.

Thanks everyone for all your reply.

Hi Birdman
It is a Dm7020Hdv2. I can’t remember correctly, I think it is something like 5000+Gb.
Hi Birdman
It is a Dm7020Hdv2. I can’t remember correctly, I think it is something like 5000+Gb.That wasn't what I was querying.
You said it was originally connected internally in this box. Presumably it was formatted there and showed up as 5TB then?
Have you looked at what /media/usb contains? Does it actually show the files you'd expect to find on the external USB device?
Perhaps you could post a zip'ped copy of the /var/log/messages file, which will contain the info about partition sizes as the system finds them.
I cannot remember which box, it was quite some time back.
This 5Tb Hdd is used for backing up of files for my boxes. Every time after copying my files from the box over to the 5Tb hdd, I will check and confirm it is successful before deleting the files from the box. It means whatever files I had backup to this 5Tb hdd will be always good.
Just, I had connect the 5Tb hdd through Usb to my Et10k. It was connected automatically as /mnt/hdd. I open it and is able to see my files and folders inside.
As for the file you have requested had been attached here.
The problem now is I am not able to backup files from Et10k to 5Tb hdd because it is not reading the 5Tb as it is but at 3Tb. Please help
As for the file you have requested had been attached here.
Thanks. This contains:

As for the USB device, it shows up as:

Oct 14 08:04:43 et10000 user.info kernel: [ 2942.806000] EXT4-fs (sdb1): recovery completeSo you might like to check that one too. Are you remembering to unmount it before you unplug it?
Anyway - the box is seeing that USB device as a 5TB drive.
The problem now is I am not able to backup files from Et10k to 5Tb hdd because it is not reading the 5Tb as it is but at 3Tb. Please helpNo. It is seeing it as 5TB, but for some reason ViX is reporting it to have the same size as the other drive.
I'd suggest running a disk check on both of them, then checking with the mount manager what you have mounted
Thanks very much for the advice, Birdman
I didn’t know we need to unmount before removing any Usb devices, whether it is my box or android devices. The only thing I did is to close all the files/folders that is connected to it and then remove it. Thanks again!
I will try it out as per your instruction, hopefully I know how.
But one last thing which is the most important thing I am seeking is how to transfer files over to it.
Please help!
Best Regards
Hi again!
I just tried out the “filesystem check” and the followings occur,
1. failed to perform “filesystem check” on both the hdds as per attached.
2. Can’t unmount any of the hdds
3. After doing a restart, both hdds unmounted
4. managed to mount the 3Tb hdd but after some errors
Please help
It looks as though past problems (unplugging the disk while still mounted?) have resulted in excessive errors/inconsistencies.
The only way out is to either run fsck manually (which means unmounting the file system(s), login in to the command line and running fsck, probably as fsck -f -y, and hoping it manages to get through) or wiping everything out and reformatting the partitions from scratch.
is he saying that there are other files from a different box filling up the hdd and box now says its smaller in size?
is he saying that there are other files from a different box filling up the hdd and box now says its smaller in size?No.
There are errors on both file-systems.
Please tell me the followings,
1. Any plugin I need to install?
2. where to run this command line?
3. how to run fsck?
Thanks
Please tell me the followings,
1. Any plugin I need to install?No. This is nothing to do with OpenViX enigma2. This is all about the underlying Linux system.
2. where to run this command line?You have to login to the box (using telnet) as root.
If you can't do that then the only alternative is to reformat both disks from scratch (losing all data that is currently on them).
3. how to run fsck?Once logged in you'll need to stop enigma2 (so that /dev/sda1 can be unmounted).
So, once logged in.
init 4
(wait 15 seconds to ensure that enigma2 has shutdown)
umount /dev/sda1
fsck -f -y /dev/sda1
This will take a while and either succeed, in which case you are OK, or if the corruption is too bad to fix you'll have to abort it and reformat from scratch. If you are asked any question answer "yes". If you are continually asked question it's not going to succeed.
umount /dev/sdb1
fsck -f -y /dev/sdb1
See comment on 3.
Thanks very much for the quick reply and instructions, Birdman.
Please tell me one more thing, by performing this fsck, will I loss all the files in the hdd?
Best Regards
Please tell me one more thing, by performing this fsck, will I loss all the files in the hdd?If it succeeds, no.
If it can't actually fix things then yes (you may lose them during the fsck, but you'll definitely lose them when you do the then-required reformat)
Unfortunately the answer can't be known in advance.
If you have another spare disk lying around with lots of space on it then you cpudl copy things onto there first.
