Backup image and slice begging thread

[PlainBill]

I have that file, same hash and everything, and I'm trying to put it onto an 80Gb drive. It's giving me a restore error: Backup target not large enough for entire backup by itself.

Common problem. Not all 80 Gig drives are the same size. Restore it to a 120 Gig - they're real cheap.

Thanks.

I tried it again and left out the -s 127 and it worked.

I have a 160Gb drive on the way ($50 AR from outpost.com) I just had this 80Gb laying around, so I thought I'd see what I can do. Actually, I'm not even a D* customer yet, but I will be soon. I don't even have a dish, so I'm kinda limited in what I can do.

You need a 4.01b image. Unfortunately, the good 4.0.1b-02-2 image on eMule is for an 80 gig drive. Your best bet may to download several of the tivo 4.x images there, find one which will restore to your drive, then let it call in to update.

Hey plainbill I have been trying to get tivo-S2-4.0.1b-02-2-xxx.mfs but my mule client keeps saying part 12 is corrupt (I have downloaded a total of 488.08 megs so far for a 162.65M file :-(. I have connections to many people (my nick http://www.aMule.org, you might have seen me) for this file for several days now and eveyone seems to have part their part 12 corrupted (as it get downloaded, checksumed and thrown away), I'm starting to belive this could be an error on my client, any ideas?

Thanks

(ps if the disk image is 80 megs and I throw it on to larger drive (120GB), will I need to try to resize the partition after its been burned to the new drive.)

OK, my copy has been verified good, and I've put it on my shared directory. Here's the link ed2k://|file|Tivo-S2-4.0.1b-02-2-xxx.mfs|170550624|48FFAD93E480DE2149F908E5092E8EA6|h=Z7VXOT76S6DWY7TUREASFTUKCCJLIQJG|/

I've also cleared out a lot of junk from the shared folder, so hopefully we can get a working copy distributed to everyone.

If you restore it to a 120 Gig drive use the -x switch (mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi /path/to/image/Tivo-S2-4.0.1b-02-2-xxx.mfs /dev/hdc ) and it will be expanded to use the full capacity of the drive.

I downloaded this with no problems after PlainBill posted,
I have also made it available in my shared folder.

Bill thanks as always for your help. Good news is that my upgrade drive is 120gb. I can probably put and 80gb image on there and expand it, huh?

[woltnj]

Does anyone have an image for a 140060 unit. My disk died and that obx was never upgraded so I don't have a backup. I you don't have an image then tell me the filename that I should search for on emule.

Thanks

I downloaded that exact image from emule and mfsrestore'd it to my new 120gb drive.

Here is the exact syntax I used (120gb on pri master, "c" drive on secondary master, cdrom on secondary slave):

mfsrestore /dev/hda -i /mnt/c/Tivo-s2-4.0.1B-02-2-Xxx.mfs

The restore did it's thing. Once it finished I typed:
mfsinfo /dev/hda
and it showed it as an 80 hour unit.

Hooked it up to the TV and it is still getting stuck at "Almost there". Grrr. Same error as my botched upgrade (post #14 has details):

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /tvbin/TvLauncher: No such file or directory

Getting similar errors for mfsadd, and switcherstart too.
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /tvbin/switcherstart: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: mfsadd: command not found


EDIT: Looks like your syntax:
mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi /path/to/image/Tivo-S2-4.0.1b-02-2-xxx.mfs /dev/hdc
is different from the mfstools readme where I was getting my command lines. I will try your syntax and post back shortly.

To be precise, I restored this to a 120 gig drive earlier this week FAT-32 drive primary master, cdrom primary slave, 120 gig drive Secondary master. I used the command:

mfsrestore -zpi /cdrive/tivo/Tivo-S2-4.0.1b-02-2-xxx.mfs /dev/hdc

It restored, and ran on a HDVR2 without problems. I tried a few tricks, then expanded it to fill the drive with mfsadd -X /dev/hdc. Again,it worked perfectly.
