mfsrestore
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just upgraded my HR-10-250 with two Maxtor 250 gig drives and the Weakknees bracket and Interactive Tivo instructions and the free lb48 cd iso download. It took me two weeks playing with the MFSbackup, MFSADD and Mfsrestore trying to get the tivo to recognize the two drive even though the the computer said the 2 drives add 301 hours for a total of 501. The tivo would only show 30 hd and 200 sd. Then last Tuesday I got additional information on the 500 mb swap file and tpip version 1.2. I used the my orginal mfsbackup.
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
mfsbackup -f 9999 -1so /mnt/hdtivo.bak1 /dev/hdc
Then redid the restore with the following commamd line
mfsrestore -r 4 -s 500 -zxpi /mnt/hdtivo.bak1 /dev/hdc /dev/hdd
This took 6 and a half hours in the cleaning up restore mode. I unmounted the drives then rebooted the computer and used the command
tpip -1 -s /dev/hdc
unmounted the drives and put them into the tivo. Now system ifrormation showed
63 hd and 426 sd hours.
Everything went well but all the saved recordings went to delete now when you clicked on them. Then said the recorder could not record because there was no video and I may have tried to record a channel I wasn't authorized to receive.
I still have the original 250 gig drive. Is there any way to restore it again and get the recordings this time and be able to watch them? According to the instruction the recording should have been transfered and been usable.
