Hi
Vu+uno 4kse, Obh 5.6.008
At present I use a 2TB hdd lacie rugged mini, and sometimes I get the subject message, although recording often keeps going (disk is far from being full).
(Same message with Open ATV with different major brands hdds: in this case recordings are failing.)
I uninstalled most unused plugins, but the issue remains.
Comments/suggestions appreciated.
 
try installing smartmontools from feeds

or

opkg install smartmontools

then from command line:
smartctl -a /dev/sda

you should see something like this

if Reallocated_Sector_Ct   count is more then 0 maybe the drive is going to die

The plugin is installed, but often write error occurs. I suspect the box is defective, as the issue holds with different images.
Thanks anyway
 
Prove it is a box issue. Test it.
Remove or disconnect the 2TB hdd. Use a temporary replacement dr4ive in usb port. If the problem continues across different images, then the box is highly suspect. If the problem stops then the 2TB hdd drive is suspect.

I have already tested different HDDs of different capacity: the issue remains, but is just occasional with less "bulk" images such Open ATV 7.5.1. I also noted that HDDs get unmounted when the issue occurs
