[mythtv-users] Permissions problem

[A Desai]

After I did setfacl -b /usr/local/media, it gave me: drwxr-xr-x 8 root
mythtv 96 Jul 5 21:27 /usr/local/media

But when I checked ls -ald /usr/local/media/tv, it still gave me the plus
...which told me that it wasn't recursive. So I did the setfacl command, but
on /usr/local/media/tv/*

Then I thought I would make it recursive to everything, since I was having a
problem watching live TV due to this problem. So I did:

setfacl -b -R /usr/local/media/*

I am hoping this would have solved it.
Previously when I looked at Security under my Windows box, it showed
Everyone, Root, Mythtv as users as well as CREATOR GROUP in it. I think the
ACL thing did that. After that setfacl command, it's gone. It's back to it's
normal settings. I will find out today after it records new stuff.

Thanks a lot. Not sure how you found out, but thanks. Will keep you updated.
