 On a new installation I can't watch TV or record if I use a 2TB HD, but
 can if I use the boot disk, despite the recording folders on both drives
 having a+wrx permissions.

 When trying to record to the 2TB drive the log (more attached) shows:

 (/media/data/mythtv/recordings/1003_20120611121014.mpg:-1): Opening file
 '/media/data/mythtv/recordings/1003_20120611121014.mpg'.#012#011#011#011eno:
 Permission denied (13)

 However, as stated above, that folder has wide open permissions:

 $ ls -l /media/data/mythtv/
  drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jun 11 12:08 recordings

 I am reporting this as a mythtv bug because every other application
 accesses this drive without a problem. I am at a loss.

 I have attached my fstab in case mythtv is taking an exception to the way
 I have mounted the drive. If it is, then it shouldn't be.

 If I change the recording folder to the boot SSD disk with the same
 permissions then it works fine:

 # ls -l /users/mythtv
  total 4
  drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jun 13 10:12 recordings

 So the problem is something specific to mythtv accessing the 2TB HD.
