bufferhack_enable="NO" in dflt_sysinit

[Phred]

I believe that during hard disk build I selected the Installer option to increase the live buffer to 60 minutes. When looking around in dflt_sysinit (I'm dangerous Peter.. lol) I noticed:

bufferhack_enable="NO" # Start bufferhack
bufferhack_size="60" # 60 minute bufferhack buffer size

Is my live buffer 60 minutes or not? Do I need to change _enable="NO" to _enable="YES" (of course in sysinit.conf not in dflt..) ?

Cheers,
Phred

What happens when you watch live TV? Can you rewind 60 minutes or only 30?

dflt_sysinit.conf will always have 'NO" set.

The correct way to enable it is to have "YES" set in sysinit.conf.

But there are other ways to do it.

So do as Darren has suggested, and if it is not on then make the change to sysinit.conf.

Sheepishly he says,, doh! Yes I do have a 60 minute buffer..

How does one edit /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf when I don't have /etc/sysinit.conf?

In VI when editing /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf I am told it is "File is readonly" after I ":wq" so I can't mod it.

I'd like to start tserver and increase the buffer.

Thanks

rw
cp /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf /etc/sysinit.conf
chmod 777 /etc/sysinit.conf
vi /etc/sysinit.conf
{make the changes}
ro
reboot
