Hello, all,
When I last upgraded three Series 2 TiVos several years ago, there was a debate about the size of the swap file. At the time, some of the tools were limited to creating the swap at 127. I downloaded the SATA version of the tools that now has support for larger swaps (circa Nov. 2006).
The questions:
(1) Do I need a larger swap to handle one 750 GB SATA drive?
(2) If so, why? (The talk back then was about recovering from a GSOD.)
(3) If needed, is there a way to calculate the larger swap size?
(4) Is there still the limitation of losing recordings when going from 2 drives to one?
Thanks.
