[mythtv-users] Transferring Master Backend

Transferring a headless master backend and I *almost* made it. I'm 
following most of the instructions on the wiki. The main difference is 
that first I'm getting an old version of Myth, 24.3, up and running on 
the new host before I upgrade.

I have it running. The front ends can access the new backed and can play 
the existing recordings and can make new recordings.

Mythweb at the moment is on the old host but seems to be working. It can 
view all the recordings and can schedule as well. I'll move it once I 
get things fixed.

There is some problem with preview generation. The preview is not 
generated and attempts to delete a recording in progress say the master 
backend has the file locked for preview generation.

Does anyone know what I've missed in the transfer? File permission in 
the new directory? selinux setting?

I got the host name changed in the database so all the *old* previews 
are showing. Just no new ones.

Thanks,
Kirk
