o: applet not found

[HUGE]

I was screwingin around on my HR10-250 and I dont; know what happened, but now it is stuck in read only. When I type:

mount -o remount,rw /

I get:

o: applet not found

I can still conntect via telnet and ftp.



Any thoughts?

o: applet not foundSounds like your mount executable is a link to a busybox that doesn't support that command (aka applet). 'which mount' should tell you which one you are using. I recommend using the tivo supplied /bin/mount rather than a busybox version.

Thanks for the reply - how do I use the /bin/mount ?

I figured it out: /bin/mount -o remount,rw /


Which worked. Now how do I prevent it from happening in the future?

I'm guessing you had a older busybox compile that included the mount command and replaced it with a newer one that did not include it. That's one way this could happen.

Or you could make sure /bin is first in the $PATH.

After a reboot it seems to have resolved. I'm still not sure what I did, or what I did to fix it. But it works again. Thanks guys.
