[QUOTE="Dog's dinner, post: 786215, member: 362627"] Thanks oldfart for the new info. I haven't been back to see whether anybody answered the last post until today. I'm rationing my Dreambox experience. Two hours a week. I've reformatted the CF card. Windows offers two fat formats, fat32 or just plain fat (with no number attached). I select vanilla fat, hoping it's 16 rather than 8 or 55 or something. Turned the Dreambox off at the mains, shoved the newly formatted CF card in, turned the Dreambox back on, hoping against hope that it would recognise the CF fat16 card. But no. So, download Notepad++. Open etc\fstab. The configuration looks more or less like this: #automatically edited by enigma2, Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:36:38 rootfs / auto defaults 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 /dev/mtdblock2 /boot jffs2 ro 0 0 tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/e1cdf5ab-0346-4850-b014-b9327d08f548 /media/hdd noauto defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/415c8b73-701a-4a7c-bebb-4b86e447d233 /media/hdd noauto defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/56366435-fda7-4f1a-9cc9-1130eff042fc /media/hdd noauto defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/30FC72FDFC72BD22 /media/WDC WD3000HLFS-0 noauto defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/95fa9ae6-cb62-43f1-9ac0-0f65c46f3b0e /media/hdd noauto defaults 0 0 /dev/cf /media/cfcard auto rw,auto,user,sync 0 0 Now last week it was saved as a Windows Notepad file, so it's probably already disconfigured. Still, if it's not working, whatever I do can't do much damage. The last command line was what I introduced last week. Step one: remove it. Step two: set EOL conversion to Unix. Click 'save'. Reboot Dreambox (probably unnecessary). Step three: add new command line again, manually: /dev/cf /media/cfcard rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 (I use the space tab to insert spaces; struck me though that Linux might prefer the indent tab or whatever it's called, the one with the two arrows pointing in opposite directions). Step four: wave magic wand. Reboot Dreambox Step five: telnet fdisk -l.... mmm., as I thought, Step five and a half. Take lift to 10th floor, look for nearest open window. I'm slowly running out of patience. I have no idea which of the several variables in the command /dev/cf /media/cfcard auto rw,auto,user,sync 0 0 are wrong, if any. A space too many, too few, wrong code word for CF card? A slash too many? God knows. That's my two hour ration used up already. (Secret sight of relief - seven whole days before next round of dismal stabs in the dark). Have a nice Sunday everybody! [/QUOTE]
