Use tspanel device manager. Formats any usb
Hello Ferret im using Oozoon oe2..i looked through the software manager but nothing i could see in there for usb ..
Thinking about it now would there be a format driver in Dreamelite 4 as its on flash for me and Oozoon on usb
lol as far as Tspanel i cant get it to load in grrrrr .. a headache for me on that one Frank

Somewhere in there sure there is format tool ill look when I get home tonight.
tutorial to install an image DreamElite4.0 usb stick
1) Format a USB drive in FAT32
2) Insert the key into usb port of the dreambox a message system appears at the screen (select yes)
3) The usb key is recognized by the system but not mount
4) Red button for Initialize, a message system appears (yes)
5) the formatting of the key begins
6) the key is initializes and mount in the media/hdd, but it is a usb key that we so in principle we will modify ( lol )
5) Staying on the image of the key mount/media/hdd (caution it is mandatory), open DCC and /etc edit the fstab file
6) Deletes the full line /dev/disk/by-uuid... / media/hdd... auto auto 0 0 and click Save
7) Now raise ok button on the USB in /media/hdd, a message system appears, selected manually select a mountpoint
8) Select /media/hdd
9) Ok and selected usb and green button (use)
10) Now the USB is well recognized in /media/usb make green button (save)
11) A message system appears (yes)

hi
Thanks but to format the usb stick you first need to format it in fat32 before you intilize it in the dreambox unless im wrong > I have intilized the usb stick before but it doesnt always work so i have to go back to fat32 then intilize it throught the dreamelite image

Maybe this could help u understand better. Should be able to apply to dm800se.
Finding/Mounting your USB Memory stick / Pendrive
(using TELNET)
- Use to find it : fdisk -l
What you will see (hdd installed sda, and pendrive sdb) :
root@dm800:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 7296 58605116 83 Linux
Disk /dev/sdb: 4059 MB, 4059561984 bytes
229 heads, 32 sectors/track, 1081 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7328 * 512 = 3751936 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 1082 3964400 b Win95 FAT32
- As you can see the USB device is on /dev/sdb1
- To initialize (to ext3), one time only needed :
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
- Mounting the External File System / Pendrive
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
The line mounts the device at the /dev/sdb1 location to the
/mnt/usb directory. If you want to mount it as hdd then you just
need to send command : mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdd
Now you can reference your pendrive from the command line
using the folder /mnt/usb.
Now your pendrive will be available at cd /media/usb/
- Unmount if you don't use :
umount -f -l /mnt/usb
- See memory amount on devices : df -h (this only once mounted)
- Automount In the Terminal
To have your pendrive mount each time your server is restarted, you must edit your /etc/fstab file. Simply add at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ext3 defaults 0 0
The first argument (/dev/sdb1) tells the system what device to mount, and the second argument (/mnt/usb) tells the system where to mount it. The third argument is the filesystem type (ext3). The fourth argument (defaults) tells the system what options to apply to the device, so in this case we’ll just use the defaults. The fifth and sixth arguments (both zeros) tell the system if the filesystem should be backed up using the dump utility, and the second zero tells the system whether to process the device when fsck is run. We can leave them both to zero for now.
