</ol>
<h2>Installing via dpkg</h2>
<p>
Download and install packet <strong>db5fuse.deb</strong><br/>
</p>
<h2>Mounting filesystem</h2>
<p class="alert">Warning: mount in the following order: first HDD filesystem and secondly db5 filesystem</p>
<ol>
<li>Mount master filesystem; a recent distro should do this automatically, else you can use a command like:</br>
<code>sudo mount -t vfat -o utf8,uid=$UID <span class="device">/dev/sda1</span> <span class="vfat">/media/HDD100</span></code>
<sup><a href="#1">1</a> <a href="#2">2</a></sup></li>
<li>Mount db5 filesystem <span style='text-decoration: underline;'>on an other mount point</span>, using this command:<br/>
<code>db5fuse <span class="vfat">/media/HDD100</span> <span class="db5">Desktop/my_player</span></code> <sup><a href="#2">2</a> <a href="#3">3</a></sup>
or <code>db5.mount <span class="db5">Desktop/my_player</span></code> <sup><a href="#3">3</a></sup></li>
</ol>
<h2>Unmounting filesystem</h2>
<p class="alert">Warning: unmount in the following order: first db5 filesystem and secondly HDD filesysten</p>
<ol>
<li>Unmount db5 filesystem using this command:<br/>
<code>fusemount -u <span class="db5">Desktop/my_player</span></code> <sup><a href="#3">3</a></sup>
or <code>db5.umount</code></li>
<li>Unmount HDD filesystem.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Restore point</h2>
<p class="alert">Take care before updating restore point that db5 filesystem is fine</p>
<p>
Restore point is used by media player when db5 filesystem is broken at boot. In this case, the media player rolls back to last restored point.<br/>
It's important to have a well-working media player before updating restore point. You can use <strong>fsck.db5</strong> to check db5 filesystem before updating restore point.<br/>
</p>
<p>
To update restore point, use this command:<br/>
<code>db5.update-rpoint <span class="vfat">/media/HDD100</span></code> <sup><a href="#2">2</a></sup>
</p>
<h2>Force reboot of media player</h2>
<p>Press <strong>[up]</strong> and <strong>[volume +]</strong> while several seconds to force reboot of media player.</p>
<h2>Repair a broken filesystem</h2>
<ol>
<li>Connect the device to computer</li>
<li>Unmount device if automatically mounted</li>
<li>Check fat filesystem: <code>fsck.vfat -a <span class="device">/dev/sda1</span></code> <sup><a href="#1">1</a></sup></li>
<li>Disconnect and reconnect device</li>
<li>Mount device if not automatically mounted</li>
<li>Check db5 filesystem: <code>fsck.db5 -f <span class="vfat">/media/HDD100</span></code> <sup><a href="#2">2</a></sup></li>
<li>Unmount fat filesystem and disconnect device</li>
</ol>
