Only 1TB

[E2Royal]

I have two Ultima 4Ks that both have 2TB disks installed and 2TB is available.
Just bought a Duo4K SE and installed a 2TB disk but only 1TB is available?

Is that right?

No it should show just under 2tb and could it be labelled wrong?
Was it a brand new hdd or might it have partitions.
Did you format it on box and set it up again ?

Where are you seeing the 1TB? menu -> information -> devices -> detected devices

If that indicates 2TB then maybe

movie list -> menu -> settings -> disk space to reserve for recordings(in GB)

Is that right?What version of enigma2?

I installed a 2TB disk a few weeks back and saw it reported as 1TB (it wasn't in practice - but that is what was reported in the menu). It was fixed shortly afterwards.

EDIT: Found the post which mentions it showing as 1TB. It's actually just a month ago.


Which also showed up a bug in the Vix Mount manager.

It displays the disk size with

description = _("Size: ") + str(round(((float(size) // 1024) // 1024), 2)) + _("TB")

and it's clear from the round that this is meant to round to 2 decimal places. But the // is doing integer division (even with the __future__ import division), so my 1.99TB disk show up as 1TB.
Those // should be / (then the __future__ import division comes into play to no longer truncate).

EDIT: PR submitted:

Thanks

I installed a brand new unformatted Seagate barracuda 2TB disc.

Went through the install process and was surprised to see 1TB

It's been asked before, what version of ViX are you using?

[E2Royal]

openvix-5.4.009.release-vuuno4kse

As stated by birdman the PVR screen shows almost 2TB.

As stated by birdman the PVR screen shows almost 2TB.I never mentioned any PVR screen showing almost 2TB.

What I said was there was a bug in the rounding code (which your version will still have) that displays 1.99 as 1 rather than 1.99.

This is just a display issue. You do have the "full 2TB" to play with on the file system.

I think your PR went into 5.4.009 (the OP's version), but there were other commits to MountManager on the same day...

Hi,

Not having that difficulty here in Australia.

Installed a 4TB Seagate full height form factor 2.5" drive/ ST4000LM024, currently about 50% utilised.

I'm now thinking of installing the 5TB model ST5000LM000. Is yours still working now?

[Aust-VAST]

Yes no problem !

[JerryK132]

Great. Thanks .
And do you use timeshift which apparently keeps the drive spinning whenever you are using a service/channel - possibly even all the time and increasing the chance of early failure?

Stop/starting a disk is more likely to stress a disk more than keeping it spinning 24/365. Most disks are rated for a maximum 60C operating temperature and this temperature may be exceeded if the box is sitting in an enclosed cabinet or above other equipment generating heat.

This is a very low current drive, so I'm hoping it will survive wrt thermal performance in the 2.5" slot. Can one get SMART info (ie temp, etc) via vix?

Thanks. I do get that switching and running have effects on longevity of any electromech system, but the advice generally is to use WD purple (3.5") drives which are optimised not just for continuous running but also for continuous writing which generally happens in video/surveillance systems. I'm trying to navigate between the various theories out there as there is very little in the 2.5" space...!
