Device Manager System Plugin for enigma2
Coded by DarkVolli 2010-2011

What's that plugin?
With this plugin, all media will be on the box initialized or formatted. So be careful when using this because ALL the data on the storage media may be deleted!
Currently only the file systems ext2 and ext3 are supported by writing. FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS partitions, only the system information is displayed when the respective kernel modules are installed and the kernel supports.

Using the plugin
Since it is a system plugin the plugin can be found after the installation / Menu / Settings / System / Device Manager. After starting all storage media are found displayed in a listbox. Icon on the left can be detected by a storage medium for what it is. Do not show any partitions, but only the "main device" eg / Dev / sda. With the Cursurtasten, the respective storage medium will be selected. For further processing, then the keys are "green", "yellow and" blue "is available.

Main Dialog - Green "Part Info"
This button opens the dialog "Partition Info". Here, all detected partitions. After selection with the cursor keys can be carried out with the "green" and "yellow" further actions:

Partition Dialog Info - Green "Test"
Here is the program fsck with the-C 0-f-p is called and displays the result. With large hard drives that can take quite a considerable time, an abort is not possible. The-p option causes an automatic correction of errors (if possible).

Partition Dialog Information - Yellow "format"
This button opens the dialog "format partition". With "Label Format" can be selected whether
- No label is used (no label)
- A label can be freely entered (user defined label)
- A pre-defined labels can be selected (predifined label).
If a label is to be used, and (no entry in the fstab) to a removable medium, the entry "Generate auto.hotplug entry" is visible. This may be an entry in the file / etc / auto.hotplug be generated, so that later on the media / autofs / can be accessed LabelName.
For a non-removable media or an entry in fstab can be adjusted if the movie folder will be created after the formatting process.
The formatting process starts with the green button, after a security check all data in that partition are definitely gone - you should be sure if you really want ...

Main Dialog - Yellow "Initialize"
This button opens the dialog "Initialize media". With "Label Format" can be selected whether
- No label is used (no label)
- A label can be freely entered (user defined label)
- A pre-defined labels can be selected (predifined label).
If a label is to be used, and (no entry in the fstab) to a removable medium, the entry "Generate auto.hotplug entry" is visible. This may be an entry in the file / etc / auto.hotplug be generated, so that later on the media / autofs / can be accessed LabelName.
For a non-removable media or an entry in fstab can be adjusted if the movie folder will be created after the initialization process.
During initialization, the medium is re-partitioned, ALL existing partitions are deleted and a new partition is created. The initialization process is started by pressing the green button, after a security check all the data of this medium are definitely gone. Not just one partition - you should be very sure whether you really want ...

Main Dialog - Blue "Mount", "unmount" or "Eject" depending whether the medium is added to the fstab
If the media is entered in fstab can be mounted / unmoutet be. Otherwise it can be ejected and will be removed from the list box. Need to mount the media again briefly on / off or set the box to be rebooted. In my opinion it makes no sense be a removable medium write in the fstab, so this plugin does not support this option.

Main Dialog - Red "Set Idle Time"
This key is called on all disks in the box (internal and external), the dialog for setting the standby time. Even if it looks that it is individually adjustable for each medium - it's not suffer so. The value entered is valid for all plates of the system.
