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)

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?

openvix-5.4.009.release-vuuno4kse

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.
