<div dir="ltr"><div><div>On a side note to all this: I've been a hacking coughing mess (yay vacay summer cold) and hadn't felt like opening up the box. So I've done some checks from command line and did a late nite sudo reboot to see if the drive came back. It didn't.<br>
<br></div>Just now realized I hadn't done a hard shutdown and power up. The drive is back. I'm currently identifying what needs to be duplicated as must keep (news segments I'm in for example) and what's "meh, it's just TV" to at least have an immediate sense of backups to my desktops, externals etc. Looking at raid for my wishlist. Thanks to all for the great thoughts and advice in this thread.<br>
<br></div>BTW, what causes a drive to just disappear until a hard reboot?<br></div>
