External HDD disappeared somehow? - faze - 2013-06-23

My external HDD disappeared somehow. I let it do the software update to update XBMC. When it came back up, my drive was gone. Tried power cycling everything, unplugging/plugging back in but nothing works. Anyone else have this? The drive is powered on and spinning but the two video folders I had are gone now.

What?


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - nickr - 2013-06-24

what is the output of dmesg?


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - faze - 2013-06-24

How do I run that on here?

SSH I assume?


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - nickr - 2013-06-24

yes or using a keyboard and the command prompt.

SSH appears to be not running? How do I turn it on?

How do you know it isn't running?
Maybe your box took a dhcp address instead of a static?
There are alot of reasons for things like this. I suggest reading to understand all of it before asking for step by step help. Or before upgrading without knowledge of the upgrade possible problems. This is not an end-user, 'buy in the store product', with ANY direct support. You use it at your own risk. There will be glitches.

A simple qoogle search brought me to loss of HD because usb's do not always mount in a consistent order, and a few other things.

I know the IP. It's refusing the connection.


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - faze - 2013-07-03

Basically, this last update borked my entire system. No SSH, no external storage. How do I roll back?


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - nickr - 2013-07-03

As far as I can see you haven't even told us what operating system you are using.


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - faze - 2013-07-03

Whatever the latest version of XBMC for RPi is.


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - nickr - 2013-07-03

openelec? raspbmc? there are plenty of options.

Why don't you plug a keyboard in and use the commandline on the actual RPi?


RE: External HDD disappeared somehow? - faze - 2013-07-03

It's on Raspbmc. How do I get to the CLI once I plug in a keyboard? Will try in a few hours when I get home.
