[Elphel-support] more about my problems with the HDD

> Could you recall what happened before camogm stopped recognizing the hdd ?

I started using camogm to record, then swith to elphelvision and made
some records at 1280x720 and 60fps (+- i remember) The buffer
overruns, and the record button gets crazy, not showing stop to stop
the recording. Then i restart elphelvision and it was recording from
the beggining... from there all files were recorder are only header
files...

Then i formatted the hda1 but not correctly, as i now understand.
whatever i did, i finish with the found & lost folder and the drive
working in camogm... and also in elphelvision.

but a day later the hdd is not detected and the hda2 seems to be half sized

now i also realices that in the whole process i may have been using
elphelvision with camogm in other window, as i observed that the
camera has a 120s timeout if the ip is not open in firefox. Also that
elphelvision always failed to detect the hdd the first time and then,
restarting, it was detected... maybe this crash with camogm?
