My plan is to copy off all non-recording data and unmount the drive.
Then I'll power it down until I can install the replacement drive and
move the recordings over.  Hopefully only TV recordings will be in any
risk of being lost but I'm not there yet as other files are still
copying.

Crossing my fingers,
