zegemma H9 twin sata hard drive issue

You don't need to initialise if it is not mounted. You need to remount it.

Initialise = Format

I tried to but received an eror message 'mount failed'. The ony resort i had was to re-initialise.

i have tried the hard drive in my xtrend et8500 running openvix and it formated fine....so it must be the zegemma box

If people are prepared to wait until Sunday (my wife is then away on business) ——> I have been in the process of making changes in this area and have some extensive debug code installed .... my last step is to do some tests with sata drives ...... so will try with my boxes including the H9 Twin and see what it shows

Can't see an issue here, have one on test.

USB stick in rear USB port mounted to /media/usb.

Internal SATA mounted to /media/hdd.

Picons on USB.

Timeshift enabled to HDD.

I'll monitor it.

Also when initialising you need to make sure theres not a service writing to the HDD, if there is it will fail.

ive given up, just going to use the USB

Could be or could be the HDD itself or your setup.

If purchased from WoS contact them, they'll resolve it for you.

when it happens to me next time, i will try and rember what i last did but it has been two occaisons at least where i have had to reinitialise the HDD because it had become unrecognised as media/hdd - it had become just a dev1/sda drive when i went into information. And when i tried to mount it i had the 'mount failed' message. I also tried to select 'use as HDD' but when the zgemma box rebooted it was still as a unrecognised (unmounted) drive.

i have a xtrend et8500 and the sata works fine in that box and its never lost its mount

bluepassat · Dec 7, 2019

update, i have re flashed the box again to the latest version 5.3.011 and its the same

Sicilian · Dec 8, 2019

I would re-flash. Do not install ANY extra plugins. Leave as free to air only. Set up new, DO NOT restore any backups.

Directly after completing the first install wizard initialise the HDD plugged into the SATA slot. Once its initialised press blue button > ViX > Mount manager. Check its mounted to media/hdd.

Run as free to air with nothing extra for at least 48 hours to test.

If you want to shut down at night, do not simply power off. Long press standby button on remote and put it into deep standby.

this is the error i get

i have done a fresh install then gone straight to initialize the hard drive and this is the error i get

Sicilian · Dec 9, 2019

To looks like the HDD may be the issue if you're getting that straight after a clean flash.

bluepassat · Dec 9, 2019

i would agree BUT the drive works in my xtrend ET8500 via sata

and also works fine via USB in the zegemma H9 twin but not via the zegemma sata

Not sure what this means/or is relevant, but found this on another site....

After reflashing the recovery firmware only (bootparameters?) it is working as intended. (The sata drive.)

yes i am having a similar problem with my zgem h9 twins, infact i have one box with open atv (which i find is slower) and one with open vix latest that came from yourselves. openvix will not initialise any drive, stops me recording and thats the same as open atv. it would be nice to have my 6tb drive on or even 4tb.
this is send me nuts.
one person told me it might be firmware problem but any help would be grateful. this is the second h9 twin box which does not quiet do what i ask it to do. mine with atv on it would not flash anything but whoosh

bluepassat · Feb 17, 2020

Mine was only a 500Gb drive. the only solution was an external USB enclosure

Online update to latest build, there was a bug 1 or 2 builds back.

heresjonney · Feb 17, 2020
