new azbox elite software drops the file size recording limit

[Mr Tony]

For the longest time the issue I saw with the azbox and a HDD was the file size limit

1st it was 3GB max
then it was upped to 4GB

well there is new "beta" software out and this drops that limit!!!

Recorded a show and it came back as one file 7.1GB

I very happy

What is the file system type for these boxes? Going with large files in Linux usually means working with XFS or JFS or deletes etc are very slow.

Also, can you SSH into these boxes?

The is an SSH in the communications options, but I've never tried it.

SSHD has been an option in the Network Service for quite a while. I'm running 9.3911 and it's an option there.

That's interesting, I'm still using 9.3911 as well. I'm curious as to why you are still running that version. I personally found that it handles HighDef feeds a bit better.

I simply haven't had a reason to move to a newer version. I've tried the newest ones, but had different small issues, and came back to 3911, which is working for what I need.
