Upgrading a DirecTivo snag...
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Quantu5

In the process of upgrading the hard drive in my Tivo unit (replacing the existing drive with a larger drive), I ran "mad/setup.sh" instead of "maddtb4/setupcd.sh" to expand my DirecTivo image. Right now the drive is back in the unit and everything is working just fine, but it only states 35 hours of recording time. From re-reading the instructions, it looks like I should have run "maddtb4/setupcd.sh". Am I correct in this assumption? If so, by running "maddtb4/setupcd.sh" now (after running mad/setup.sh), will there be a problem?

If it doesn't work, download MFS Tools 2.0 (you can run it from your Windows drive if you boot with the TiVoMad CD, you don't have to burn an MFS Tools 2.0 CD too. Use the mfsadd function (mfstool mfsadd -x /dev/hdx).

We're recommending that you do your transfers with MFS Tools 2.0 (do a pipe backup as described in the RESTORE section of the README). If you add -s 127 to your options, it'll expand your swap, which makes much safer to add a big B drive later.
