Doctor 12% and my 32GB TP thinks it only has 16GB of mem

jnelson76 · 10/17/2011, 10:22 AM

I'd been having the Doctor 12% error for the last few days and followed OneBadTaz thread http://forums.precentral.net/webos-i...sue-fixed.html to try to fix it. Unfortunately none of the info in that thread helped me. I first noticed something was wrong when Icouldn't write anything to /media/internal and it would stay. Finally last night I noticed something odd. I typed a pvscan in novaterm and it returned something like 14.19GB of space... This is a 32GB TP with a 32GB model #. I confirmed in system info this thing says it has 16GB of memory.

I did have two TP's I gave the other which was a 16GB to a friend.. Any chance that hp backup stuff could have pulled in her info into mine (both are still in my name)?

HP is already sending a box, but was just putting this out there because I've talked to other folks who have the 12% failure and the other fixes aren't working for them.

Did you have any success with this?
You said that pvscan found a smaller size than expected (close to 16GB).

In mine I get:

Code:

# pvscan
  PV /dev/mmcblk0p14   VG store   lvm2 [29.07 GB / 0    free]
  Total: 1 [29.07 GB] / in use: 1 [29.07 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

It appears that /dev/mmcblk0p14 is just part of the block device /dev/mmcblk0 (flash or similar) which has a number of different partitions, and partition p14 is the part that is used as the main physical volume seen in pvscan.

What do you get from /proc/partitions like this...

Code:

# cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name

 179        0   31160320 mmcblk0
 179        1     102400 mmcblk0p1
 179        2        500 mmcblk0p2
 179        3       1500 mmcblk0p3
 179        4          1 mmcblk0p4
 179        5        500 mmcblk0p5
 179        6        750 mmcblk0p6
 179        7       2500 mmcblk0p7
 179        8      10240 mmcblk0p8
 179        9       1500 mmcblk0p9
 179       10       3072 mmcblk0p10
 179       11       3072 mmcblk0p11
 179       12       4096 mmcblk0p12
 179       13      32768 mmcblk0p13
 179       14   30504960 mmcblk0p14
 254        0     581632 dm-0
 254        1      65536 dm-1
 ......
 ......

What size is that first mmcblk0 partition?
Is it close to 32GB as in the listing above, or is it closer to 16GB?
