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
