    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

    Thanks. This contains:
    Code:
    Jan  1 07:30:22 et10000 user.notice kernel: [    7.713000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 5860533168 512-byte logical blocks: (3.00 TB/2.73 TiB)
    ...

    So you might wish to run a filesystem check on that device.
    As for the USB device, it shows up as:
    Code:
    Oct 14 08:04:29 et10000 user.notice kernel: [ 2929.610000] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 9767541168 512-byte logical blocks: (5.00 TB/4.55 TiB)
    ...
    Oct 14 08:04:43 et10000 user.warn kernel: [ 2942.801000] EXT4-fs (sdb1): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended
    Oct 14 08:04:43 et10000 user.info kernel: [ 2942.806000] EXT4-fs (sdb1): recovery complete
    So 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 help
    No. 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

    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.

    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.

    1. init 4
      (wait 15 seconds to ensure that enigma2 has shutdown)
    2. umount /dev/sda1
    3. 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.
    4. umount /dev/sdb1
    5. fsck -f -y /dev/sdb1
      See comment on 3.

    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.
