[mythtv-users] Mythburn hosed my /video directory

[George Galt]

See this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/161135

The mythburn scripts specifically say that the contents of the temp
directory will be deleted. If you used your /video partition for that,
everything is gone.

Sorry, but this means that there probably isn't anything wrong with your
system.
