Without this fix, when the drive goes to sleep, the Moxi will respond with a “Do you want to keep/delete this episode?” prompt — twice — when you try to play shows on the EHD, and if there is no space on the built-in hard drive, shows will not be recorded, with the (unhelpful) reason logged as “Failed (No Signal)”.

Thanks for this fix.

You type in terminal

“sudo apt-get install pmount”

and then i type in the terminal every time the disk sleeps:

“pmount /dev/sdb1″
