ex** formatting & recording

[buyukbang]

Hey,

I've read before azbox recording feature is not compatible with ex** formatted HDD. Is it still problematic with latest firmwares? I would like to format my HDD from ext2 to ext 3. Since there are lots of files, before all file migration and formatting, I thought it would be better to ask you to save time.

Thanks...

Nobody uses ext 3 with Azbox HDD?

I use the Ext 3, and works well.
Initially we formatted in ext 2 and then we converted with Debian(tune2fs) to ext 3 without losing data(with bachup!!).


/dev/hda1 on /MMP type ext 3 (ro,data=ordered)
/dev/hda2 on /PLUGINS type ext 3 (rw,data=ordered)
/dev/hda3 on /DISK2 type ext 3 (rw,data=ordered)
/dev/hda4 on /Download type ext 3 (rw,data=ordered)
/dev/hdb1 on /DATA/hdb1 type ext 3 (rw,data=journal)

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock5 1.0M 404.0k 620.0k 39% /DISK1
/dev/hda1 135.6M 109.7M 18.9M 85% /MMP
/dev/hda2 15.5M 3.8M 10.9M 26% /PLUGINS
/dev/hda3 7.7M 3.9M 3.5M 53% /DISK2

Do you have any problem with SD or HD recording?

with MultiCAS and swap, no.
I have problems just with cccam214 (ND$_it@)
Before, you can test with a USB Flash, formatted on Ext 3 (GParted)

Thank you for this useful information. Since I don't use CCCam I'll format my HDD as ext 3. Because ext 2 causes too much file corruptions on improper shutdowns.

If you formate the HDD with AZBoxHD, the HDD would be formatted in ext 3.

[buyukbang]

Nope,

Formatted my HDD last week from menu:

/dev/hdb1 on /DATA/hdb1 type ext 2 (rw,nogrpid)

I'll format it manually for ext 3


If you formate the HDD with AZBoxHD, the HDD would be formatted in ext 3.

Unfortunately ext 3 formatted HDD is really slow for me. My FTP speed slows down after ext 3:

ext 2 with Priority Manager: 50-55 Kbps
ext 2 without Priority Manager: 35 Kbps

ext 3 with Priority Manager: 35 Kbps
ext 3 without Priority Manager: 20-25 Kbps

I'll return to ext 2 since this seems to effect all file write processes (ftp, recording , downloading)
