I have done a fresh install of LinHES 6.04, and am using storage groups. In addition to the boot drive (WD 640GB), I have three storage drives: Samsung 2TB F4 HD204UI, WD 2TB EARS, and a WD 1TB Green. The 2TB drives are AFT (advanced format), and have been properly aligned using Gdisk.
I created three additional directories (/myth2, /myth3, /myth4), and placed them in /etc/fstab. Code: # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
UUID=c9254a1c-728f-40f4-a419-63d279b53ac4 / auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=214ec27f-616c-42bc-afc5-945e2917cf89 /myth auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=cd56feef-c101-4577-9fc8-0f563b2041e8 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=6ffe340f-d5e1-4806-85c2-bb238aa21c0d /myth2 auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=56533860-7953-4d1c-b932-5d335e420989 /myth3 auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=0918f839-4fb0-404d-9221-5cec0afe04c7 /myth4 auto defaults,noatime 0 1
#STARTSCRUB --------------anything in this block will be scrubbed
#ENDSCRUB
I then created the /tv subdirectories for each, chmod and chown'd each one, and added them under mythtv-setup in section 6 storage directories.
My problem is, in going to system status->machine status, under Mythtv Drive #2 it is showing /myth2/tv, but only reporting 19GB, of which 3.4GB are shown as being used. It should read 1.8TB available, not just 19GB.
I have redone this several times, with the same result each time. I have hit the wall on this one, even with an ample dose of googling. Please, if anyone has some insight, I would appreciate it.

What does df -h /myth* show? I'm guessing that the free space is only counting the first drive for some reason.

I had a similar problem because i used the same mount point "/myth2" when i upgraded. Try naming the mount points something different. Somehow my upgrade "remembered" that I only had 14 gigs of free space on my old drive. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... c&start=30
I don't know if you have the same problem.
Also try using the webmin tool http://your.mythbox.ip:100000 it has a good mounting tool with lots of options, well in true Linux fashion too many options. _________________ My System

Thanks for replying fellas.
This is what df -h /myth* spit out: Code: [root@Mythtv]# df -h /myth*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 576G 4.3M 576G 1% /myth
/dev/sda1 20G 2.3G 16G 13% /
/dev/sdc1 1.9T 4.2M 1.9T 1% /myth3
Then I did df -h /myth2*: Code: [root@Mythtv]# df -h /myth2*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 2.3G 16G 13% /
It would appear to be mounting /myth2 in the root. One of the first things I do is install webmin. Webmin is not letting me mount /myth2 on /dev/sdb1 (the samsung F4). It says it is already mounted. I deleted /myth2 and created new /myth3,4,5 and here is the output: Code: [root@Mythtv]# df -h /myth*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 576G 4.3M 576G 1% /myth
/dev/sda1 20G 2.4G 16G 13% /
/dev/sdc1 1.9T 4.2M 1.9T 1% /myth4
/dev/sdd1 932G 4.2M 932G 1% /myth5
Code: [root@Mythtv]# df -h /myth3*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 2.4G 16G 13% /
Not sure why it won't let me mount /myth3 to /dev/sdb1. Argghh!!!

Ah, it sounds like the extra partitions aren't getting mounted. Do this:
Code: mount If that doesn't show all the disks mounted try this: Code: ls -ld /myth* If you don't see existing directories for all the mount points you need to create them. Code: mkdir /myth2 /myth3 /myth4
I would also check that your UUIDs are correct using blkid and that the disks have valid file systems on them.

Thanks tjc. It's still not working. mount gives me this: Code: /dev/sda1 on / type auto (rw,noatime)
none on /dev type ramfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda3 on /myth type xfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/sdc1 on /myth4 type xfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/sdd1 on /myth5 type xfs (rw,noatime)
none on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw)
ls -ld /myth outputs: Code: drwxrwxrwx 24 mythtv mythtv 4096 2011-03-19 23:24 /myth
The directories are created: Code: mkdir: cannot create directory `/myth3': File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `/myth4': File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `/myth5': File exists
here is my /etc/fstab: Code: # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
UUID=85b31359-19b8-4433-96ba-8f833c9126d1 / auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=6b194255-adb9-4d53-971a-d0d19e381819 /myth auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=fb50cb83-64f7-408e-85ee-ea9132f119c9 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=6ffe340f-d5e1-4806-85c2-bb238aa21c0d /myth3 auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=56533860-7953-4d1c-b932-5d335e420989 /myth4 auto defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=0918f839-4fb0-404d-9221-5cec0afe04c7 /myth5 auto defaults,noatime 0 1
#STARTSCRUB --------------anything in this block will be scrubbed
#ENDSCRUB
and here is blkid: Code: /dev/sda1: UUID="85b31359-19b8-4433-96ba-8f833c9126d1" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda2: TYPE="swap" UUID="fb50cb83-64f7-408e-85ee-ea9132f119c9"
/dev/sda3: UUID="6b194255-adb9-4d53-971a-d0d19e381819" TYPE="xfs"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="SamsungSpin" UUID="6ffe340f-d5e1-4806-85c2-bb238aa21c0d" TYPE="xfs"
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="WD2TB" UUID="56533860-7953-4d1c-b932-5d335e420989" TYPE="xfs"
/dev/sdd1: LABEL="WD1TB" UUID="0918f839-4fb0-404d-9221-5cec0afe04c7" TYPE="xfs"
Everything appears to be correct, but my linux knowledge is limited to just beyond cut and paste, so perhaps I'm still missing a piece of the puzzle.

Let's redo the
Code: ls -ld /myth*
Make sure to include the '*' wild card so we can see what the other mount points look like. The "file exists" errors could mean any kind of file system object.

I thought I had included that in there, but must have missed it. Code: [root@Mythtv]# ls -ld /myth*
drwxrwxrwx 24 mythtv mythtv 4096 2011-03-19 23:24 /myth
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 15 2011-03-20 18:15 /myth3
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 15 2011-03-19 08:54 /myth4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 15 2011-03-18 15:02 /myth5
I waylaid the UUID's and went back to /dev/sdx.

OK what happens when you run:
Code: mount /myth3 If there is no output follow up with a: Code: mount -l

I did a clean install without using the samsung F4, thinking it might have something to do with it. And voila!- that didn't do it.
mount /myth2 gives me: Code: [root@Mythtv ~]# mount /myth2
mount: Structure needs cleaning
Not sure what that is all about.
Thanks for all your help tjc!

Wow, never seen *that* error before... Google says it has something to do with a corrupt XFS file system. See the XFS FAQ for suggestions on fixing that.

Yeah, I've already been poking around there. Hopefully I can solve it soon, for the waf is plummeting with regard to turnaround on this project!

Well, I re-installed one more time, and this time the mounts seem to be playing nicely: Code: [root@Mythtv ~]# df -h /myth*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 575G 4.3M 575G 1% /myth
/dev/sdb1 1.9T 4.2M 1.9T 1% /myth2
/dev/sdc1 1.9T 4.2M 1.9T 1% /myth3
/dev/sdd1 932G 4.2M 932G 1% /myth4
But now, under system status->machine status in the frontend, it is only showing three Myth Drives. /myth2 and /myth3 are shown on the second drive, whereas they should be on their own drives (drive #2 and drive #3). Instead of approximately 5TB of storage it is just showing 3.3TB. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Well, my wild storage groups ride has come to an end. Not sure why they were screwy during my first few attempts, but they are mounting and reading properly now.
As for not seeing all 5.1TB's of storage under the machine status tab, it turns out that Mythtv sees identical drives as one until recordings are placed on them. Then it can differentiate between the two of them. I had eight gigs record today, and voila!, all my storage was being seen.
Thanks for all your help tjc. I learn something new everyday...
