<font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman">I'm planning a major
upgrade of my system, from Mythbuntu 12.04/fixes/0.25 to
Mythbuntu 14.04/fixes/0.27. At the same time I'm also planning
to rearrange the entire file system so that I have a relatively
small (64gb) system ssd a 250gb ssd to mount /var and a 4tb
hardware RAID volume for /home where I plan to keep all of my
storage groups and some other stuff.<br>
<br>
My plan is to backup my database to an NAS, and copy all of my
storage group directories to the NAS, do a new install of
Mythbuntu 14.04, copy the storage group directories to /home,
restore the database, make sure the directories I set with
mythsetup are correct, and go. Have I missed something vital?<br>
