<p>My existing setup I have 2 machines.</p>
<p>1 is a master backend with 5 capture devices in it.</p>
<p>1 is a slave backend with 1 capture device in it. This is
also my frontend system.</p>
<p>Backend status in mythweb says the following.</p>

<p>As you can see I'm running out of room so I built an
additional machine that will serve as more storage space.</p>
<p>This new machine does not have any cards in it but exists
solely as additional storeage. I will transfer video to the new machine by hand
and update the database to point to the new location.</p>
<p>It is connected to my existing network, connected to my
master backend and the mysql db. It does not show up in Machine information in
mythweb.</p>
<p>I moved a single mpg file from niflheim:/record to the new
machine.</p>
<p>I then updated the table in mysql to know that the media is
no longer on niflheim but is instead now on mediastore.</p>
<p>I then delete the mog file from niflheim. I go into my
frontend and am successful in playing the show. Disconnecting the mediastore
network cable causes playback to stop.</p>
<p>Success, or so I think.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I go back into mythweb to media information and I still only
see drive 1 and drive 2. The new drive that is a part of the mediastore is not
showing in the information section. Total space remains as approx 1 TB when the
new drives I added in the new machine pushes me to about 1.5 TB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why does the new machine not show in the machine information
disk list? Is it because there is no card in the new machine?</p>

<br>a much simpler solution would be to mount the new computer/storage via NFS to your master backend. Then add that directory as another storage directory. <br><br>Not only will you see your additional storage but you wont have to deal with manually moving files over to the new storage (that is just crazy)
