[ET9x00] Latest updates causes boxes to slow down

[Rimmel]

The latest updates via vix panel seems to have killed the speed on my et9000's. The ViX cursor is appearing when changing channels and allsorts.

2.3 vix. Any ideas?

thanks

Same prob here on VU+duo with build 190...

We're aware of a couple of issues and working in the background to fix them.

Brilliant - thanks

Yep - exact same issue with my Duo also. Channel changing is quite slow. I have to do a restart the box each time it occurs so it speeds up.

Hopefully fix is out soon as siclian says.

Same here every now and then there seem to be a few small bugs with this new linux kernel.
Today i had a problem with the networkbrowser and also when i switched the tv on after recording lastnight i had a black screen and the box was locked up but in the display it said a recording has started.
I had to switch it off at the switch as i could not reboot it via telnet either but it did record the show.

try enabling the debug logging feature. then once you reboot forward the log with the date and time of the reboot to us for inspection.

one thing to remeber guys is slowdown will also come if you have a hdd fitted in or out side teh bix that was initialised in linux 2.6.3x

you will need to re initialise it in linux 3.x and you will see a spead increese there alone

I think silverfox was getting confused between converting and initialising...

Kernel 3.x is able to take advantage of ext4 format partitions, which 2.x was unable to... Apparantly, ext4 is slightly faster, although I haven't converted my drives over yet . But I am looking to in the near future anyway, as need to format the hdd anyway (so in the process of backing up nearly 2tb of recordings )

However, you can convert to ext4 from ext3 if you wish using the option in Menu -> Setup -> System -> HDD. But personally, I would prefer to make sure I have a backup of all recording before I did this, in case that causes me to loose the recordings! lol

 

[Rob van der Does]

Anyway: using Ext3 on Linux 3.x will not cause any slow-downs.
Ext4 is advertised to be a bit faster on handling large files, so you might want to use Ext4 for that reason.
Conversion from Ext3 to Ext4 is supposed to leave all data in tact. I converted several HDD's that way, and observed no problems at all.

 

[zola25]

I also converted to Ext4 with no problems all my recordings stayed intact

Now you mention it, yes I have. It is especially noticeable watching football - occasionally when the ball is passed (not necessarily a very fast pass) there is perceptible juddering/ghosting of the image of the ball...

can't seem to edit but above post refers to VU+ Duo, not ET9000...
