It took me forever (well, not really . . . I managed) to figure out all the Impreza/Outback/Legacy configurations and make sense of the diferent offerings, especially because they have changed from year to year. So yeah, there’s an Outback, and there’s also a trim line of the Impreza that’s called Outback. It almost drove me around the bend and toward a different make of car altogether. (Fortunately, there is not an Impreza trim line on the Outback models. That probably would have tipped me right over the cliff.)

In a silly result of all this, what I bought was, as far as I can tell and the literature indicates, an “Outback Outback,” or the base trim line of what used to be a Legacy Outback, but isn’t any more, it’s just an Outback. . . .

I got to where I wished they just used numbers to differentiate the cars! 1 = smallest car model, 1a = base trim line, 1b = next trim level up, and so on.

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″
