I've just attempted to add a 320 GB Wd drive to a 80 G Maxtor system with no success. I used the ptv v4.0 with lba48 support and here are the steps I took.
I backed up the current tivo drive with
mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt (fat32 partition)
mfsbackup -f 9999 -1so /mnt/tivo.bak /dev/hda (Tivo drive)
then i shut down the pc and replaced the fat32 backup drive with the new 320 GB drive and issued the command
mfsadd -r 4 -x /dev/hda /dev/hdb
I did not increase the swap file(yet), but cannot get the tivo past the please wait screen.
My questions are :
If I do the MFS restore to bring back the 80 gig drive to previous, will I lose the recordings, or will everything be back to start?
I am considering (if I can restore the 80 Gig drive to prior status) just doing the mfsbackup | mfsrestore thing and saving the 80 Gig as backup.
Any suggestion would be very welcome!!
