Upgraded to 320GB drive, but only 142 hours?
Hi there,
I followed the Hinsdale instructions to upgrade a Series 2 (model 54080) failing 80GB HDD to a new 320GB HDD. I was able to pull a backup with
from step 7. Option #1. I was then able to restore correctly with
from step 8. This is all using the MFS Tools Boot CD 2.0. Tested the Tivo with the new drive, seemed to be working fine (of course, no recordings transferred).
I then tried to increase capacity with:
from step 10. configuration #2. This reported an increase of 66 hours from the original 80 GB HDD to the new 320 GB HDD. That seems awfully low... 
The Tivo itself still boots up, records, plays, etc., and reports a capacity of 142 hours. (It's running 9.3 software, by the way.) So everything works, it just seems to not be using the entire drive. Did I miss a step somewhere? I still have the original drive and backup image, so I can probably try this again, I just don't know what I would need to do differently.
Any help most appreciated!

mfsadd -r 4 -x /dev/hdc
