[mythtv-users] Yet another silly action to drive the mythbox crazy

[Another Sillyname]

While I appreciate extensive coding would be a PITA and you can never
code for ALL the possibilities that user misconfiguration can cater
for perhaps a simple (not in C++)......

if [ $STORAGEDEFAULTDIRECTORYDEVICE == `df -h | grep "/$" | awk -F " "
' { print $1 }' ]; then

echo "You're not allowed to have the default storage directory on the
same device as your root directory to avoid crashing your machine"
echo "Please choose a different directory and hard drive to install
your default storage group.........."
echo "exiting hard, please reconfigure before running setup again"

exit 99

fi


While the code isn't elegant you get the point
