Hi,
My Bubba3 was not available anymore, neither by WLAN nor LAN. The LED remained purple. So i decided to reinstall the system completely (bubba.cfg: PARTITION=1, FORMAT=1). It started ok with the LED turning green. But for about an hour now nothing happens anymore except the red LED of the harddisk is kind of double blinking (constant pattern), the Bubba-LED remains green.
There are no clicking sounds from the harddisk, but i hear that it's running (constant noise of turning disk).
In the wiki it says that it takes about 10-15 minutes for reinstalling and formatting a 1TB-HD(?), this seems quiet fast to me.
So, does this mean that my HD is broken or do i just have to wait?
regards
steff

How long does it take to format the disk
Re: How long does it take to format the disk
I have never seen an install taking a full hour, so something must be wrong (perhaps your watch?). How did it go?

Re: How long does it take to format the disk
Well, something is broken and it's definitely not my watch. Tried to reinstall the system with an original excito rescue stick but no success either.
So i have to return it. Too bad, i already got so used to it - i hope it won't take too long till i get a new one
