You can not mount two volumes on the same mountpoint. Or actually you
can, but only the last mounted will be visible.
You have to add a second directory, for instance /media/storage2 and
mount the second volume there.
In mythtv-setup you add the second mountpoint to the same storage
group as where you have /media/storage. Myth will then spread new
files over the two volumes. This depending on your settings.
