Formatting USB drive under Nabilo BH 07

sinjin_smythe

Hi All,

I have a DM800 running Nabilo Blackhole 0.7 with a 4gb Corsair USB stick Im trying to format to get a swap file set up on it. When I insert it, it picks up the device and says has no media files to display.

When I go into the Nabilo Blue Panel and Swap file settings, i get option to choose USB then swap file size up to 256, but the access light doesnt flash while the swap file is being created and the blue cogs turn for about 3 mins then the message appears : "swap file failed. check for available space", maybe cos its formatted in FAT32?

After I exit from Blue Panel, the dreambox crashes to a green screen the goes into a constant reboot. The only way to recover it is it reflash the Nabilo image.

How can i format it so its available to the DM800 for a swap file?

Cheers

Got it sorted, needed to have the USB stick inserted while powering up the dreambox, had to reflash the image to get it working. Was able to create the swap file in about 20 seconds and have activated it with autostart using the plugin.
Is it supposed to activate itself also? After a reboot its inactive and needs to be started manually.
