[mythtv-users] Myth + Pogoplug/Samba

Hi - Hoping for some help. I've got a mythtv backend/frontend that is setup to save to a Pogoplug Linux server that itself has two attached USB drives. 

Pogoplug provides a binary on linux that allows the pogoplug-connected drives to be mounted (pogoplugfs is based on fuse I believe) remotely -  so I have the two drives on the pogoplug mounted on the mythtv linux box as /Pogoplug/Mediadrive1 and /Pogoplug/Mediadrive2. 

Setup this way the mythtv box can record and save OTA HDTV shows no problem. However when I play back the recordings on the mythtv machine it glitches and breaks up - not terribly but it's annoying.

So rather than use pogoplugfs to mount the drives on the pogoplug I've also installed Samba on the pogoplug and mounted the drives that way. Doing that playback works great! But, for some reason the mythtv backend machine doesn't see the drivespace and thinks there's only 150MB free, so the minute mythtv starts to record a show it auto-expires every other show already recorded - not very useable.

So - Is there a way that I can use pogoplugfs for the backend but tell the frontend to go to a different path to find its shows and mount that path using Samba? 

Or - does anyone know what might be causing Samba and the remote OS to be deciding that there is only 150MB of space when actually there is 2TB?

Thanks.
