[mythtv-users] Differing File Sizes between FE and BE

This isn't exactly a Myth issue, but I know that you lot are some of the
smartest so I pose this question to you.  I recently lost the OS drive in my
backend box.  I slapped in a new drive, and threw MythBuntu back on.  I
setup my MDADM array and it found it no problems.  I setup my UID to be the
same as what it was (1001) and my FE found it just fine.  I put in some
exports in my BE.  They are as follows:

/storage                *(rw,async)
/storage/mythvideo      *(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/storage/pix            *(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/storage/music          *(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/storage/cover          *(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)


Here is my FE fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=7c164040-1f13-4f3b-bb47-a57ae02bac46 /               ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=4318fa0b-4009-4445-b731-d23921bfaed0 none            swap
sw              0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
10.0.0.23:/storage/mythvideo    /var/lib/mythtv/videos  nfs
defaults        0       0
10.0.0.23:/storage/pix          /var/lib/mythtv/pictures        nfs
defaults        0       0
10.0.0.23:/storage/music        /var/lib/mythtv/music           nfs
defaults        0       0
10.0.0.23:/storage/cover        /var/lib/mythtv/cover           nfs
defaults        0       0


When I'm in the FE and in the directory: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/Movies
folder, the file sizes of the files (ISOs in particular) in that folder,
don't match the file sizes in the directory on my backend.  I don't
understand why this is happening.  When I'm watching these files, xine or
mplayer cut out a few minutes into the movie cuz the NAV packets are in
error.  What am I doing wrong?  What can I do to fix this?  I'm not seeing
any errors in the logs (dmesg or /var/log/messages).  Any help would be VERY
much appreciated.  I am on the latest updates for MythBuntu on my FE and
BE.  I don't see any problems in HD recordings, or SD recordings.  Just
items that were on the BE before the crash.  I've tried watching the files
on the backend, and they're totally fine.  So I know the BE is OK, but
something is happening.  Thanks!

Jim
