Do a mkdir /video, then try the mount. You need to have the directory
available before mounting a partition to it.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Mounting /video partition after reinstall
Hello,
----------------NEWBIE ALERT------------------
I was having trouble with my FC1 system, so I deleted the /, /boot, and
swap partitions, leaving my /video partition. I installed FC3 and have
it up and running. However when I try to mount the /video partition it
fails.
Here is what I did:
[root at mythtv etc]# /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hdb: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065
* 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 14 1288 10241437+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb3 1289 1419 1052257+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb4 1420 24321 183960315 83 Linux
[root at mythtv etc]# mount -t xfs /dev/hdb4 /video
mount: mount point /video does not exist
I know that /dev/hdb4 is the /video partition from the previous install.
This is where all my recordings, etc are.
Any help would be appreciated.
