How did you format the HDD? like described here http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=HDD_Format ? The 3rd column shows number of blocks. hda1 block size is 2KB while hda - 1KB You get the free space if you mount the partition and type in the console "df -h", for example. So you are formatting the whole HDD (provided you went the defaults when creating partiotions on /dev/hda inside fdisk) i understand the filesystem are not in the hda, right? It's stored in the flash - mtdblocks - better not to touch them. > mount /dev/hda1 /var/hdd > nothing happens and when i restart (with reboot -f) the hdd folder > isn't there... The /var/ folder contents do not survive the reboot as it is usual for linux. Sebastian knows this better then I do - I think /var/hdd is automatically created and once you access the recording page or at least do the mounting from there. I need to test it but something might be going wrong if you have HDD already mounted by the time you first access the recording page. At the first access after reboot the application for recording (camogm<http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Camogm>) is launched.
