Hello fellow dreamys:respect-053:

i've sodded up my 1Gig pen i think i've formatted it to ntfs or fat32 in my pc, i want to try and reformat it manually to ext3 but i've forgot the commands, can someone please tell me the command for mounting and formatting.

Hi,
Could you not just format and mount with Flash******?

Check if USB stick is recognised
ls /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
If this gives an error, Youre device is not recognised and you cannot continue.

Clean disk pationing:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc count=10
Shutdown enigma en let the DB go out. This is for 2 reasons
Save enigma settings
Make shure that stick is NOT mounted

Partition USB-Stick
sfdisk /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
Press enter 4 times. sfdisk is asking questions about how to create 1th, 2nd, 3th, 4th partition. Defaults are fine

Now you get a warning 'no primary partition is marked bootable (active)' and a question if you want to write this to disk. Answer y to that question.
If everything is OK, you are back on the telnet pronpt.
Make an ext3 filesystem on the stick (reiserfs is NOT recommended for small devices)
mke2fs -j /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
sync

Now reboot the dreambox again. And the stick shoul be mounted in /m/scsi

When dreambox is up, check if stick is mounted. If it is not mounted, start over again and read more careful.
cd /m/scsi
ls
You MUST see a directory called 'lost+found'. If you don't see that dir, you must start over again from the top.
If you want to mount /var on USB stick do the following command, if you want to use the stick for other stuff skip it:
cp -a /var /m/scsi
touch /m/scsi/var/tmp/init
sync
Now reboot dreambox again and you should have a big /var filesystem

If you look in the DCC installation folder your find a file in there called "dccscript.ini" your find all the correct commands in there for USB
