km box r5e50 frontend and backend combined in 1 machine km box in ethernet network my problem: harddisk of the km box is that filled, i have no space for transcoding nor for recording. i would like to keep my recordings to save them to dvd-disks. what could i do to solve this? -deleting recording: no wanted option -adding new harddisk or transferring the install/contents to a bigger harddisk as a replacement disk: last option i want to consider - other??? any solution in the 'other???' category? thanks for reading |

Why not delete a few of the shows so you'll have the room to transcode. The shows will most likely re-run. Why not start Samba on KnoppMyth, then you can access the drive from that other OS? One topic per thread please. |

Temporarily move something off onto another box to give yourself the headroom needed to archive stuff to DVD. I used to run into this problem with my original box and that was the best answer I found. I've used both scp and rsync for the job but copying onto an NFS or Samba mount works too. |

You could also plug in a usb external drive to backup some files to make room. |

Hi, Be advised that IF you use a "store bouht" usb external drive that most are formated as fat32 (that is what I have seen anyway) Because of that you can only save files 4 gig or less in size as that is a fat32 limitation. So any of those 5 ~ 6 gig movies won't go. A solution is to reformat the external usb drive to be an ext3 then the file size is not an issue. Mike |
