Either way, I cannot go any further without asking for your help as I have spent weeks trying to figure this out, troubleshooting and searching for similar problems posted on the forums, with no success so far.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">What I am trying to achieve is having mythtv directories in a second hard drive, separate from the one with the operative system. The problem is that when I try to change
the default storage group that comes with the installation for one subfolder in my 2nd HD, mythTV can't write to it.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Here is my setup:</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Ubuntu 11.10 system with 2 internal 1Tb HD with several partitions.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">MythTV (single backend/frontend) installed from repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25, using this command: sudo apt-get install mythtv.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">A partition in my second drive mounted to the filesystem at /content.

However, when I attempt to change it from the backend setup to "/content/mythmedia/" nothing gets recorded. The directory /content and all its subfolders work fine for all other purposes (Nautilus, Samba,
etc.), but for some reason MythTV doesn't want to use it (i.e. no Tuner woul record to it).</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">It is also odd that when I exit out of the backend setup, it doesn't give me the message about the directory not exiting, so presumably, the backend is able to see the folder is there. However, when accessing the information at (breadcrumbs) MythTV frontend> Information Center > System Status> Machine status >, it shows only the space available in my main hard drive (the one with /boot, /, /home and swap), ignoring the larger drive mounted at /content.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york,
