Drive noise after sleeper

[UberDuper]

Probably the replacement drive I'm using, but is there normally a lot of disk activity following a drive replacement / sleepering? I hear the drive chugging away like it's doing a lot of random seeks. May have always done this and I just never paid attention. Maybe I'm paranoid.

Ahh. Deleting all the recorded shows it *thought* it still had quieted it down.
I think we have SUCCESS!
I slapped a 200GB drive in there for now. I'm planning on adding a 160GB drive after I order some brackets. I'm still within the limits of lba28 and I want to make sure I haven't screwed anything up. Tivo says I have recording capacity up to 157 hours. Is this what I should expect to see for 137GB?

No. A 120 Gig will give 105 hours; a 137 Gig would give about 120 hours.

Well that's not good. What could i have done wrong? The sleeper CD I used only recognised 137GB of the drive.

Hrmmm. crap. So I gotta run a drive tool to limit the drive to 137GB and redo everything. Sucktacular! Maybe I should spend more time looking for the lba48 patch.

I upgraded with a 160GB drive and see the same thing: 157 hours of recording time. Been running like this for a few months without any problems. df output:

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda7 126911 57645 62713 48% /
/dev/hda9 126911 14204 106154 12% /var

tivoweb info module reports 130037 MB of total space + 8212 MB reserved ~= 135 GB. This sounds correct.
