<br>
</span>Yes, they all need separate mount points - only one drive can mount on<br>
the /media/daryl mount point. The normal place to put fixed mount<br>
points in Ubuntu is in /mnt. The /media directory is used for<br>
automounts. If you plug in a USB disk or flash drive, or put a CD or<br>
DVD in an optical drive, in Ubuntu it will normally automount itself<br>
in a new directory made from the drive label under /media/daryl, and<br>
also automatically appear in the disk software such as Nautilus as a<br>
disk icon. So doing fixed mount points on /media/daryl will stop that<br>
automounting from working. I would recommend doing this:<br>
<br>
sudo mkdir /mnt/storage1<br>
sudo mkdir /mnt/storage2<br>
sudo mkdir /mnt/storage3<br>
chmod a=rwx /mnt/storage1<br>
chmod a=rwx /mnt/storage2<br>
chmod a=rwx /mnt/storage3<br>
<br>
and then changing those three lines in /etc/fstab to:<br>
<br>
LABEL=storage1 /mnt/storage1 ext4 defaults 0 2<br>
LABEL=storage2 /mnt/storage2 ext4 defaults 0 2<br>
LABEL=storage3 /mnt/storage3 ext4 defaults 0 2<br>
<br>
Note that I have also changed the 1 at the end of those lines to 2.<br>
Only the disk mounted on / should have pass 1 setting in fstab. All<br>
other disks should be pass 2 (or 0 for special mount points like<br>
/proc). The pass number tells the boot process that all drives with<br>
pass 1 are to be checked and made available in the early boot process.<br>
But only the / drive needs to be made available that early - the other<br>
drives should be left for the normal mounting process later.<br>

<div>I replied too soon, I can't access previous recordings and new ones don' play properly. fstab looks like this:</div>
<div>
<div># <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass></div>

<div>UUID=06336f2d-051d-4900-bb9f-<wbr>ccb6f81d5bd5 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1</div>
<div># swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation</div>

<div>LABEL=storage1 /mnt/storage1 ext4 defaults 0 2</div>
<div>LABEL=storage2 /mnt/storage2 ext4 defaults 0 2 </div>
<div>LABEL=storage3 /mnt/storage3 ext4 defaults 0 2</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the default storage directories in myth BE setup are /mnt/storage1, /mnt/storage2, /mnt/satorage3/</div>
<div>recordings were green when I was using /media/daryl, red since. Any suggestons? </div>
