HDD used for OMB totally wiped out after a BH crash

I’ve been using OMB for a long time, now. Until some days ago I had it configured this way
OBH in flash (4.1. or 4.2)
BH 3.06 and some other images in OMB
OMB resided on my HDD

I had never had any problems before the really odd (and annoying) issue happened some days ago.

As I had done many many times before, I rebooted into BH306. Trying to record something from sat, I had the message it was not possible. SO I went into the BH apps to mount the HDD.
It gave me the message it had to restart GUI and I did it. After the restart, the mount had not been done.
So, I tried several times to mount and, after the last attempt, I had a GSD where I could read something about openmultiboot plugin.

Only… the result was really bad: some way, omb had deleted every folders and files in my HDD.
So, I lost many recordings and some folders with special settings. Nothing personal, fortunately, and nothing I cannot help having. But it was very, very annoying.
How can a plugin do such a specific work as deleting everything in a device?
Here are the last lines from the crashlog:

By the information in the Log
I would not say Plugin erased your HDD.
Plugin could not find Multiboot folders ,
this means something happened before that.
But I do not know what happened.

Try to unmount physically your HDD ( i.e, unattach it from your STB ) and check if the image you have installed in flash, boots normally.
If so, probably, the kernel gets corrupted!

Now this is just supposed ( causes this issue ):

  • Installation of OpenPli image ( Open Multiboot )
  • Installation of VTI image ( also on Open Multiboot )

Yes, I immediately removed the HDD to examine it, by the same softwares I use to assist my customers, and it was empty!
I obviously also checked its healt status, although it is almost new, and it's OK.
The recovering of my files resulted in a too much fractioned panorama and then it was too complicated. So I gave up with it.
Now I'm using again the same HDD with omb: I installed OBH 4.1 but I don't want BH again! After all, I'm now totally devoted to OBH. BH was there just for... "academic" reasons ;)
