[mythtv-users] Near the end of Jarod HOWTO with partition problem

All,

[sorry, mistakenly sent last email unfinished.]

This isn't Mythtv-related, but has everything to do with my being a
Linux newbie...at least as far as fdisk, partitions, and LVM go.  I
followed Jarod's HOWTO with success up till I try to run the mtyhbackend
and it fails due to...my /video mount is not present!

# /sbin/fdisk -l
Device     Boot Start    End     Blocks  Id  System
/dev/hda1     *     1     13     104391  83  Linux
/dev/hda2          14   1288   10241437  83  Linux
/dev/hda3        1289   1353     522112  82  Linux Swap
/dev/hda4        1354  24321  184490460   f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5        1354  24321  184490460  8e  Linux LVM

# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/      /         ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot  /boot     ext3    defaults        1 2
None         /dev/pts  devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
None         /proc     proc    defaults        0 0
None         /dev/shm  tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3    swap      swap    defaults        0 0


For all my reading, I can't determine what is wrong i.e. what to fix.
The original Fedora install app provided me the opportunity to create a
"fourth" partition mounted to /video that would take the remaining
space.  But although I can see /dev/hda5, I can't add an entry to
/etc/fstab that allows me to 'mount /video'.  Also note that I did
reformat hda5 to XFS.

Thanks,
Matt
