If you mean hdd usb try this

1. Connect to AzBox by telnet and type this command

umount /dev/sda1

2. Now we will format HDD in ext3 FS

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

3. With this command we will mount HDD under /media/hdd

mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd

4. To be able to record and use timeshift we need to create directory movie in /media/hdd

cd /media/hdd

mkdir movie

In Telnet type the following command, df -h

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 248.0M 69.6M 178.4M 28% /
udev 2.0M 324.0K 1.7M 16% /dev
/dev/mtdblock2 7.0M 2.7M 4.3M 39% /boot
tmpfs 74.2M 272.0K 74.0M 0% /var
tmpfs 74.2M 8.0K 74.2M 0% /tmp
/dev/sda1 931.3G 579.5G 351.8G 62% /media/hdd

What do you see in your telnet window when you type df -h?

The hard disk isn't mounted.

Try the instructions again in post number 4 by tsakman but skip the first instruction and report back.

2. Now we will format HDD in ext3 FS

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

-sh mkfs.ext3: not found

Type the following into Telnet.

fdisk /dev/sda

You will see the following prompt below... type p after Command (m for help):

Command (m for help): p

This will display your disk information.

Now on the Command prompt type n for new partition.

Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)

Type p for Primary Partition.

Partition number (1-4): 1

You will see First cylinder (default 1) press return key
You will see Last cylinder (default your hdd size) press return key

Press w to write partition.

type quit to exit fdisk

now type the following.

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

Depending on the size of your HDD this will take approx 10-20 minutes to complete.

Now edit the fstab file in the /etc folder.
Add the following line below to the bottom of your fstab file and save it.

/dev/sda1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0

Now mount the drive with this command

mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd

now make a movie directory

cd /media/hdd

mkdir movie

Your drive is now ready to use.

Thank you for your answer

I'm almost close to the answer

Again, thank

[LeeGW]

Delete the line /dev/sda1 /media/hdd ext3 defaults 1 2 on line 11 of your fstab as you already have it defined in line 8 of your fstab.

I've updated the instructions in post #10 to include the instruction to press p for primary partition.

Here's the full procude below which should now get you up and running.

fdisk /dev/sda

You will see the following prompt below... type p after Command (m for help):

Command (m for help): p

This will display your disk information.

Now on the Command prompt type n for new partition.

Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)

Type p for Primary Partition.

Partition number (1-4): 1

You will see First cylinder (default 1) press return key
You will see Last cylinder (default your hdd size) press return key

Press w to write partition.

type quit to exit fdisk

now type the following.

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

Depending on the size of your HDD this will take approx 10-20 minutes to complete.

Now mount the drive with this command

mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd

now make a movie directory

cd /media/hdd

mkdir movie

Your drive is now ready to use.
