[Nuke2000]

I just did a clone copy of a 40gb to a 250 drive how meny hours are there on a 250 drive.

It only shows 124

i have upgraded from my single dive, to a western digital 250 gb single drive and put away my original drive for future problem use.

mine shows variable of up to 220 hours.
its possible you didnt do a step thats required to open up that large drive. i cant remember what the command is. maybe someone with more knowledge can help you.
i did the zipper on this drive and it worked awesome

Nuke what kind of Tivo do you have?
What software version is it running?

s2 sd-dvr40 6.2

It sounds like your Linux boot CD doesn't support LBA48 kernels, which is why it only expanded to 124 hours. Get a copy of the PTVUpgrade LBA48 enhanced CD and re-image the drive. You should get well over 200 hours of SD recording on a 250GB drive.

[Nuke2000]

is there anyway to make it bigger with out redoing it all.

I'll chime in and cofirm that 250GB also gives me 220 hours. After two month, still not close to being filled!

If i do other clone of the 40gb to the 250 with a PTVUpgrade LBA48 cd will that work ?

I don't want to del any data on the drive.

Hey i need reading this zipper tool very nice. Just want i want iam makeing the tool cd but i have the file


vmlinux.px

but in the steps make the tool cd it as for the VMLINUX_.GZ will the tool cd not work if it is not zipped ?

Also i have the 62small.mfs can i rename this to 000001 ?


Also iam looking at the zipper.sh file and i see

if [ ! -e /cdrom/VMLIN* -a ! -e /cdrom/vmlin* ]; then
echo "Hacked kernel is not on the tools disk. Exiting..."
exit 1
fi

I am gessing this is seeing if it's on the cd


and ################## COPY KERNEL ##############################

is where it unzip the kernel if i take out

if cp /cdrom/VMLINUX_.GZ /tivo/var/VMLINUX_.GZ; then
cd /tivo/var
gunzip -d -v VMLINUX_.GZ 1>/dev/null
mv V* vmlinux.px &>/dev/null
mv v* vmlinux.px &>/dev/null
elif cp /cdrom/vmlinux.px.gz /tivo/var/vmlinux.px.gz; then
cd /tivo/var
gunzip -d -v vmlinux.px.gz 1>/dev/null
mv V* vmlinux.px &>/dev/null
mv v* vmlinux.px &>/dev/null
else
echo "Hacked kernel named VMLINUX_.GZ or vmlinux.px.gz not found on Tools CD. Aborting..."
rm -r /tivo/busybox
rm -r /tivo/hacks
exit 1
fi

and put

cp /cdrom/vmlinux.px /tivo/var

in the COPY HACKS AND SETTINGS will that work ?



Also I am going to add a bit to the code is it will copy over the bufferhack40b.tcl

I think everyone should have.

You might want to post your question in the Zipper thread. Someone can probably give you a quick response.
