You don't have to. The fix works both ways.

The problem occurred in the installation script that came with a "new" kernel. Since you now get a fixed version of that script along with today's kernel, you can upgrade any old image.

(though I wonder why you'd want to "upgrade" a backup, that kinda defeats its purpose.)

You say that the fix works both ways (flashing the latest image and/or updating older ones).
So I falshed again the backup image of 2 Aug and made a simple online update. But after the reboot the box starts again in STOP-mode...

[gregoire]

Oops just did an opkg update ; opkg upgrade and then a reboot and my DM8k don't goes further than the stop... is there any other way than a reflash ?

[pieterg]

you could assemble an nfi with just the 'boot' partition in it, and flash that, keeping your root partition.
Alternatively, you can boot from usb, and resque your rootfs data (search the forum, a pretty detailed step by step was posted)

[gregoire]

Very good to know :-)
As I did "an error" in my first install (I installed crossepg which even after removal stayed in the plugins) I did it from scratch.
The only more or less important things I got on my DM are the channels which I have backup in DreamBoxEdit :-)

I missunderstood the previous comments about "STOP" which I thought were about the mediaplayer (I had a crash in pli3.0 while playing a file which was the reason I wanted to update).

Thank you for all !!!

Now (2012/08/08 06:30) your '/boot fix' works and I can seamlessly update my "precious" nfi backups

Thanks for solving the problem

...you can boot from usb, and resque your rootfs data...

...or you can use a Lowfat-stick. Here some useful operations you can do with this tool that is more than a Multiboot:

Flash can be:
-saved as nfi
-flashed from nfi
-embedded to stick as multiboot image
-mounted to /tmp/lowfat/lowfat (so you can copy, add or edit flash files from stick)

Multiboot images can be:
-saved as nfi
-renamed
-copied
-mounted to /tmp/lowfat/lowfat (so you can copy, add or edit files)

Hi,last time files in /media are missing.
There are no hdd directory, and this make problem to mount a nfs or a cifs mount.
Seems for me this problem also are in the latest 2.1 version.

To Milo
Is there a solution for a double mount for UUID?
http://openpli.org/f...post__p__290087

[ims]

It is after flash new firmware?

btw, you can try my mdev-mount.sh ( but i am not using swap file => is not solved ). In addition, you can use f.eg. with

/dev/sdd1 /media/front auto defaults 0 0

there in /etc/fstab => always all in usb reader is mounted under same name. I am using it long time... Only after change must be rebooted box, of source (and 755).

PLi 3.0 but the new, I just update the software periodically.

Сhecked your mdev-mount.sh,but there is one:

You see, the disk /dev/sda is not mounted.
Because it is not written in fstab.
The result is not quite universal.

[ims]

may be, sda1 is my internal hdd and i am using UUID for it...

[exsat]

I am still wonder how a nfs mount can be done when there are missing the directory "hdd" inside the /media . The /hdd symlink are pointed to /media/hdd . Adding a hdd directory in /media will be deleted after reboot. Is there anybody that know how this can be done ? I know i can of course make a script that start after every reboot " mkdir /media/hdd" ,but this is a workaround and i assume this is not the way it should be done

Exsat

[macnuts]

There is a 'use as hdd' [yes/no] option in the nfs mount settings. I can't recall if it really uses /media/hdd but I used nfs mount as the only storage and with this option set to yes it was working ok.

Regards.

[macnuts]

As far as I can remember /media/hdd is a symlink to /media/net/nfssharename then.

(New post, I couldn't edit the previous one).

Any directory in /etc/fstab is automatically created at boot. So if you use fstab to mount your NFS share, no "scripts" are needed.

If you use the enigma2 mounting functionality, the /media/hdd directory (or whatever mountpoint you chose) will also be created automatically.

Which method are you using to mount your nfs share?

[exsat]

ok,,thank you,,i did not know that the fstab would create a directory.

[MiLo]

On normal posix systems, fstab wouldn't create directories, it's a special OpenPLi feature that it does so.

The "/media" directory is in RAM, not on the flash, for a few good reasons:
- In case the mount fails, you may end up with the box recording to flash memory, which in a sort time will fill it up and crash the system. If something like this happens now, it will fill only 64k RAM and them harmlessly stop.
- It's a waste to write to flash memory (twice) just to have a mount point that is just an empty directory.
- It makes it possible for the mount scripts to assume that any directory in that location is really a mount point, and use it for "housekeeping".
