<font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">I've added a new
3TB drive to my Mythtv 0.28 Ubuntu 14.04 box.The new drive
mounts at start up to /media/[myname]/Storage<br>
I've created a folder within this called myth, and within
that all the separate directories for my storage groups, to
mimic what I've got on my main drive.<br>
I've added the new folders to my storage groups in set up eg
in videos I had;<br>
/home/mythtv/videos<br>
and added;<br>
/media/[myname]/Storage/myth/videos<br>
All fine so far, and I was able to delete the files from the
/home/mythtv/videos folder, and remove this from the storage
group, and videos play ok.<br>
However the same procedure does not work for the default
folder, where I keep all my recordings.<br>
home/mythtv/recordings<br>
Even though I've added
/media/[myname]/Storage/myth/recordings to the storage
group, whatever I do, as soon as I remove either a file or
directory from the original storage group, mythtv cannot
find the file.Is there something different about the default
folder?<br>
I used the 'disk' app to mount the drive at start up, rather
than editing fstab.....assume that is ok, as videos work
fine?<br>
<br>
I've looked at the wiki, and read lots of others' questions
here etc, and I can't see what I'm doing wrong, but I'm
guessing I must be going wrong somewhere!<br>
Can anyone help?<br>
<br>
Thanks.</span></font></div>

My first guess is permissions and ownership of these new
directories.<br>
<br>
When you use mythtv-setup to adjust StorageGroups you should get a
message when you exit mythtv-setup if there is a problem writing to
Storage Group directories.<br>
<br>
Is there anything in the mythbackend.log about Storagegroups and not
being able to read/write ?<br>
<br>
The ownership and permissions I use are <br>
All directories should be owned by mythtv.mythtv <br>
permissions required on the directories are u=rwx,g=rwxs,o=rx<br>
<br>
Something like these commands should do it:<br>
<br>
sudo chown -R mythtv.mythtv <font size="2"><span
style="font-size:10pt;"> /media/[myname]/Storage/myth</span></font><br>
sudo chmod -R u=rwx,g=rwxs,o=rx <font size="2"><span
style="font-size:10pt;"> /media/[myname]/Storage/myth</span></font><br>
<br>
As a second guess, there was an old problem with mounting to /media<br>
