I replied too soon, I can't access previous recordings and new ones don'
play properly. fstab looks like this:
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=06336f2d-051d-4900-bb9f-ccb6f81d5bd5 /               ext4
errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=47904312-a99f-46dd-ae81-5f0fff64df5e none            swap    sw
      0       0
LABEL=storage1 /mnt/storage1    ext4        defaults    0       2
LABEL=storage2 /mnt/storage2    ext4        defaults    0       2
LABEL=storage3 /mnt/storage3    ext4        defaults    0       2

the default storage directories in myth BE setup are /mnt/storage1,
/mnt/storage2, /mnt/satorage3/
recordings were green when I was using /media/daryl, red since. Any
suggestons?
