Is it type? That's showing vfat R/W other than that can't see anything to show the format

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Yes it is type. which shows it is Vfa and not ext. You now have two options which were mentioned above. I know which one I would try first.

1. Remove, place in HDD caddy or PC, format in fat32 and then reconnect to receivers and then initialise it as others have said.

2. As has been suggested, Dont bother formatting as fat 32. Unmount first then
Menu > Setup > System > Storage Devices > Initialisation > Select device > Red button to initialise > Yes to warning about losing recordings.
Wait for completed prompt to come up.

Tried that comes up error: unmount: can't forcibly unmount /media/hdd: device or resource busy

 

[slacky1230]

Would I be able to back up to USB then disconnect the hdd flash the backup back onto the box then plug the hdd in and format then?

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Response to post 44. That is probably because it is being accessed by the PTS feature. Disable PTS and ensure no recordings are being made.

Response/query to post 45. Are you referring to backing up recordings on HDD?

 

[slacky1230]

How do I disable it?

 

[Abu Baniaz]

How do I disable it?

Menu > Setup > System > Timeshift Settings > Automatically start timeshift after : change this to disabled > Save
(Based on you using the PTS feature combined into Vix image. )

can I ask is this hd 3.5'' or 2.5'' / and if you have used it in skybox f5 you will have to format it before putting in vusolo2

 

[slacky1230]

Just turned PTS off then tried same error then restarted the box made sure PTS was still off tried again now working fine showing ext 4

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Good work.

Provided you have got the completed prompt, re-enable PTS and and check that the symlink error has disappeared.

 

[slacky1230]

PTS error has disappeared thanks a lot guys. I was going to give the sky skin a try in the downloads where do I transfer it to via FTP?

Why is this please?
Why can't linux receivers/PCs format/initialise a HDD/storage device?

 

[bobby123]

it was just the post on #26 vu solo2 only works with 2.5''

 

[slacky1230]

The picture is a little stretched the bottom menu goes past the screen. Tried my TV remote to adjust it but it channels the solo2 menus and same with the controls actually on the TV lol why is this?

 

[Abu Baniaz]

If you have Overscan enabled on your TV, disable it.

If not you can adjust the size of the menu screens on the ViX image. Adjust it until you can see a bit of light on the edges.
Menu > Setup > System > User Interface > Position setup

 

[IAmATeaf]

You can set the menu size in system -> user interface -> position setup
