What hardware are you running? Mine is AMD 5400 and I installed the i386
version of Mythbuntu 14.  I used the default setup and only one disk.  The
old system had two disks but both had recordings on them. Not sure of the
file system on the old system but I will see if I can get it running long
enough to check. Looks like everything is on ext4 single partition except
for the swap partition.

That is a good lead, thanks.
