</div></div>Actually you could have by running twice (or untill it said there<br>
wasn't anything mounted there) sudo umount /media/storage.<br>
But rebooting is saver and more secure, for you then return it to the<br>
default state.<br>

Currently recordings etal go to /media/storage/mythtv due to a link my son installed last year: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 26 10:41 /var/lib/mythtv -> /media/storage/mythtv, is it more standard to move the /var/lib/mythtv directory to the drive /media/storage? If that is the case, then how would I move the same directory to two drives? When I try to add another path to storage directories I'm told that the directory can't be written to(or some such) and do I want to go back and fix this? So I delete the recent change. I've tried "/media/storage2/mythtv" and "/media/storage2/mythtv/recordings" same result, they look writeable to me:</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ ls -l /media/storage2</div><div>total 20</div><div>drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Aug 27 12:54 lost+found</div><div>drwxrwxr-x 3 mythtv root 4096 Sep 11 08:33 mythtv</div></div></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ ls -l /media/storage2/mythtv</div><div class="gmail_extra">total 4</div><div class="gmail_extra">drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv root 4096 Sep 11 08:33 recordings</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">What can I do to get to a standard setup using the two 1Tb drives for recordings etal?</div><div class="gmail_extra">Also with Precise, recordings went into a recordings directory in the mythtv dir. now in Trusty they go into the mythtv dir along side the recordings, videos, fan art, etcetera dir's, is that because of the follwoing ownership?: drwxrwxr-x 15 ntp mythtv 4096 Sep 11 07:31 mythtv</div></div></div>
