  • Two drives down to one - DSR6000

    Hi,
    I have an old DSR6000 with two drives (120G and 40G I believe -- it's been awhile since I've opened it up ).

    Anyway, it looks like I'm starting to lose one of the drives - pixelation, a few reboots, and some shows are unwatchable.

    For future simplicity, I'd like to take the two drives and condense them down into one, but I'd also like to keep my current recordings (I don't think the drives are too far gone to copy 'em). Looking though the interactive instructions, I see this usage:

    mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdX (/dev/hdY) | mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -xzpi - /dev/hdZ (/dev/hdZZ)

    Parentheticals are for two drive to two drive or one drive to two drive situations.
    Does anyone know if this would support two drives down to one? I realize I could try to find out which drive is bad and only replace that one, but I just think it'd be simpler to condense.

    Thoughts? Thanks!
Working...
