No, but maybe you are. As I stated at the outset this is a new and
possibly temporary storage drive. I'm trying to keep track of what's
on the partitions and why.

My backend doesn't have storage. Over the last 2 years I've used a
remote machine with a large disk as an NFS data server for everyone in
the house. It had a 300GB partition for Myth storage. I woke up this
morning to find the whole server had gone down and won't reboot. Since
the family wants to record today and I cannot fix that machine in an
hour I'm going to set up a USB drive as temporary storage for Myth and
wanted to know how it's being used.

Thanks,
Mark
