Thanks Stanman - have gone back to latest image (3.0.783) and (fingers crossed) it seems more stable for me. Have also moved as many timers as possible to stop them clashing! Don't have Swap Manager in plugins either - but it sounds like it might be useful. I'll search for the plugin and try it out. Thanks again.
not in plug-in mate.
read my instructions above for location

Hey - just thought I'd reply back here in case anyone is still having this problem. I managed to solve it by using a powered USB hub between my external hard drive and the Vu+Duo. I don't know why that helps, but I have not had any more "write error" messages or recording failures with overlapping timers (touch wood). Perhaps the external HDD wasn't pulling enough power from just the Vu+ box?? Not sure, but it works for me and may for others. FYI, my hub was a D-Link DUB-H4/B USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (about £15 on Amazon). Only down side is I usually power off my Vu+ overnight and it now means that the external HDD is essentially "on" or powered all the time. Long term, I don't know if this is bad for the drive, but haven't had any issues so far (again, touch wood). Anyway, just thought I'd post this in case it helps!
1- Bus powered HDD's are always a bad idea. You now know why.
2- Sleep management of an USB-HDD is in the USB-SATA converter. It's very difficult to find any info on that subject from any manufacturer; some will stay on for ever (not bad for the drive at all), some will fall asleep after 5 minutes (or so) not being used.

English is not my native tongue.
I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.
Thanks DrRommany. This gave me a hint on my problem with an external 2.5 HDD in HFS+ format on OpenViX ( only image supporting such format) with Vu+ solo2.
I used a USB3 splitter cable plugged on two USB port at the back of the solo2. No problem with write error anymore.
I had the HDD in NTFS with OpenPLI image before and did not have such write problem so it may be related to the HFS+ or the mounting process.
I have formatted the HDD in HFS+ to be able to plug it into my JB Ipad to see all my movies.
I was a bit optimistic. A few recordings worked with the HFS+ disk then I got again the write error when a recording started from deep standby. Then after a reboot the disk was mounted with read only. I had to connect it again to my Mac to have it working with write capability on Vu solo2.
I tried another disk with the same result. The problem seems to be in the HFS+ driver in the OpenVIX and maybe in the non support of HFS+ with the journaled option which makes the transfer of data to the HDD safer. I am now back to a HDD in NTFS Format and I transfer recordings to SDcard to be play them on the IPad.
