I'm running the openpli2.1 image by smirnoff rules on a dm800 with an external 2.5 usb hardrive connected to the box.

I initialize the drive, create 2 ext3 partitions (sda2 and usb ) and set the recording paths. Timeshift & recording all working fine.

however after a few hours the drive just randomly unmounts and doesn't even show as a connected device with 'df' in telnet. ?

Anyone got an idea whats wrong ?

thanks.

Is the usb unpowered ? If so these kind of problems do arise.
 
that was my first thought so I tried a cable that uses both usb ports to supply power to the drive but it's still happening. [confused]

If you trying to power it from the Dreambox that the issue the PSU is not upto it. Use a powered usb hub it will be fine then.
