Daily call failing since moving ISP's to Optus

It is still showing UnknownError when i make a daily call.

The tivo is now rebooting itself quite frequently.

Ok, I will post a message to the mailing list an see if someone else has some different suggestions.

Peter.

thanks for the help.

Would I help if I just reinstalled the image. It doesn't bother me if I lose my shows.

I assumed you would prefer not to do it.

I have already posted the message.

If you can wait a couple of days, someone might come up with something that we haven't tried.

Otherwise go ahead and start again.

Make sure you download the latest image, and update it after a reboot.

Peter.

Nothing from the list request yet, but I did have another thought in the meantime.

It may be corruption of the MFS (database) which is not allowing it to read the value of DialPrefix correctly.

Try the command:
mfscheck -fix

This repairs any errors in the database. It takes quite a while to run, and from memory reboots automatically when done. If it doesn't, then just reboot when the prompt returns. If you see any errors listed, paste the details here.

Peter.

It did take a while, for a second I thought well nothing is happening here and then...


[TiVo [p0] ~]# mfscheck -fix
Couldn't CreateSharedMemoryFile() /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey -- check permissions
FsInit failed: 0x11001
[TiVo [p0] ~]#

No worries, that error happens a lot.

Use these 2 commands:

rm /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey
mfscheck -fix

Peter.

It is still making the same error with mfscheck -fix.

[TiVo [p0] ~]# rm /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey
[TiVo [p0] ~]# mfscheck -fix
Couldn't CreateSharedMemoryFile() /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey -- check permissions
FsInit failed: 0x11001
[TiVo [p0] ~]#

Okay, let's try a different route:

chmod 777 /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey
rm /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey
mfscheck -fix

Peter.

EDIT: For those that saw the original version of this post, the // in the rm line is correct.

Same again.

[TiVo [p0] ~]# chmod 777 /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey
[TiVo [p0] ~]# rm /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey
[TiVo [p0] ~]# mfscheck -fix
Couldn't CreateSharedMemoryFile() /var/tmp//fsmem.mpkey -- check permissions
FsInit failed: 0x11001
[TiVo [p0] ~]#
