This is why you don't setup a Storage Group to point to the root
directory of any filesystem.  You point the SG at a subdirectory, so if the
filesystem isn't mounted, then Myth won't write files to the wrong filesystem.

My fileservers are sharing out their /HOSTNAME/video*/ directories.  My
Storage Groups point to /HOSTNAME/video*/mythtv/recordings, so if a filesystem
is not mounted for some reason, I don't end up with a full root partition on
the backend.
