    Recording's suddenly disappeared?

    Hi!

    Strange one. Been using the box no problem and I got I from WoS back in June-ish with 1Tb HDD built in and openvix.

    It was working great, autotimers setup etc. but went to watch a recording last week and nothing seems to be there on the Hard Drive? When I navigate to /media/hdd/movie I just get a message saying the directory doesn't exist??

    Not sure if it's relates but when I go to devices it claims the device is full also?

    And ideas other than re-initialising the hard drive and losing recordings?
    Also tried re-mounting, but just got "mount failed".
    To be clear, this isn’t an external HDD, it’s the built in (by WoS) one.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    But I don't think a solution was ever found

    Might you try reflashing a new image and setup from scratch using no restores,did you look at at the storage to see if it changed even after it said failed and now says ext4?

    Hi, just noticed this thread...and yes, same thing happened here. So my situ was slightly different though. I was using pure2 6.5, went to do an update and boom, on reboot, no recordings showing, I could see hdd (which was 90% full prior) showing unmounted, so tried to mount as did everyone on here. No luck, so looked into fsck commands, and using terminal. no luck. so re-flashed with latest 4.01 openvix and same thing. so downloaded plugin webif with terminal and tried that way. input the fsck command line, still nothing. so no joy on pure2 or openvix. I tried installing all the linux utils thinking that may help terminal communicate with box and correct the hdd/movie folder...but no. Nothing so I too just re-initialised drive and started from scratch as backups everything was gone too. Total bug in system for sure, but I'm double sure that its fixable by this forum's group. Knowledge is power after all...and I love this box so have no intention of parting with it, despite losing everything (90% on 2 tb Tosh hdd!) this week! It was enough to know the hardware was all good considering only few months old and is just a software blip!

    Recording's suddenly disappeared?

    ViX 4.01? Doesn’t exist. Be more specific. Look in Menu > Info > About and tell peeps the proper ViX image and your Receiver.

    Yes that is correct, after an update. I was cursing myself! Also, neither image could see the hdd as mounted, so could not gain access to recorded files. I kept thinking fsck fsck and kept going over the same things, became frustrated and initialised ..it was late. in hindsight it was lazy of me, would've been good to get a solution ...
    btw I'm staying with openvix despite the same thing happening on this image. never had a prob like this before on openvix, but it appears problem could be cross-image, so....?
