<p dir="ltr">My set up may be slightly different, originally I started with one 1Tb drive, and had my son come over and set up a separate partition for recordings, what he did, apparently was create a link from /var/lib/mythtv to the new partition, so everything that is in that directory is on the separate partition, keeping root safe from corruption. There is actually another directory beside mythtv called "forever" where I could put recordings I wanted to keep. This was done with limited knowledge of myth's potential and I think I will undo it, as it is not used. <br>
So, has this original setup been done on a less than standard way, and need to be changed to allow the second drive to come into use properly? The OS is on a separate 250 Gb drive and the /var/lib/mythtv directory is on one 1Tb drive (/dev/sdc1) and the other 1Tb drive (/dev/sdb3) is ext4 with nothing on it. It was the original drive that my son separated and partitioned for me a year ago hence sdb3.<br>
I'm hoping this is a puzzle to your liking, Hika and not too confounded. The drive with recordings is only about 5/8 full so no great panic to get the second on line, but with the new season around the corner I may need the extra space.<br>
Again many thanks to all contributes to this point. Daryl<br>
