[mythtv-users] Cannot access recorded video from remote front end

[H P Ladds]

Thanks,

I thought that JFS was grasping at straws.

I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with nfs. Do I have to
sent up a network share?

$ ls -l /video
> total 186936

Perhaps it has something to do with udev or hotplug. During the setup, the
directory I use for store recorded content is /video. /video is on it's own
300 gig drive with a swap partition.

 $ cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/1             /                          ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot1       /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
devpts                  /dev/pts               devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm              tmpfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=/music     /music                  jfs     defaults        1 2
proc                    /proc                     proc    defaults        0
0
sysfs                   /sys                     sysfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=/video     /video                    jfs     defaults        1 2
LABEL=SWAP-pdc_dfjhah   swap    swap    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda3         swap       swap    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hdd1         swap       swap    defaults        0 0


Perhaps udev is setting the /video partition/drive permissions so that the
remote FE does not have access.
