Hi folks,
Well, the audio/video stuttering on my old series 1 DSR6000 with original two drives (30G and 15G) is forcing me to upgrade. I purchased a 160 MB Seagate DB35, partitioned it with the Seagate DiskWizard and then formatted it using fat32format as I don't have a 98 boot disk.
I connected my drives as follows in my PC:
- Primary Master: CD
- Primary Slave: DB35
- Secondary Master: TiVoA
- Secondary Slave: TiVoB
I'm using the interactive instructions and and selected the option to save recordings. This is where I get an error.
/# mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdc /dev/hdd | mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -xzpi - /dev/hdb
Scanning source drive. Please wait a moment.
Source drive is 30 hours
- Upgraded to 43 hours
Uncompressed backup size: 40139 megabytes
Restore failed: Backup target not large enough for entire backup by itself
/# king up 1 of 40139 megabytes (0.00%)
I get the following related to the drives during the mfstools initialization sequence, so I don't think its a locking issue.
hdb: 268435455 sectors (137439 MB) w/...
hdb: 58633344 sectors (30020 MB) w/...
hdb: 29336832 sectors (15020 MB) w/...
Partition check:
hdb: hdb2 < hdb5 >
hdc: Signature 1492, be16 Signature 9214
16:00: block 0 has signature 9214 rather than 1492
unknown partition table
hdd: Signature 1492, be16 Signature 9214
16:40: block 0 has signature 9214 rather than 1492
unknown partition table
Given the following, it looks like there is no issue with the source drives other than that drive B is going bad.
/# mfsinfo /dev/hdc /dev/hdd
MFS volume set for /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd
The MFS volume set contains 6 partitions
/dev/hdc10
MFS Partition Size: 512MiB
/dev/hdc11
MFS Partition Size: 11403MiB
/dev/hdc12
MFS Partition Size: 512MiB
/dev/hdc13
MFS Partition Size: 15746MiB
/dev/hdd2
MFS Partition Size: 4MiB
/dev/hdd3
MFS Partition Size: 14320MiB
Total MFS volume size: 42497MiB
Estimated hours in a standalone TiVo: 43
This MFS volume may be expanded 3 more times
Not sure if an mfsinfo is supposed to show more than this for the new drive?
/#mfsinfo /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb10: Success
mfs_load_volume_header: mfsvol_read_data: Input/output error
If I run chkdsk from a DOS prompt on the DB35 drive I get the following:
The type of the file system is FAT32.
Volume Serial Number is 0FF7-3E0E
Windows is verifying the files and folders...
File and folder verification is complete.
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.
156,242,112 KB total disk space.
156,242,080 KB are available
32,768 bytes in each allocation unit.
4,882,566 total allocation units on disk.
4,882.565 allocation units available on disk.
Any help is most appreciated.
