[mythtv-users] Adding new 1 Terabyte Drive and Moving existingRecordings

[Ben Coleman]

I set volume labels on drives then mount based on volume in /etc/fstab as 
follows..

LABEL=750GB  /mnt/sde1  ext3  suid,dev,exec  0  0

This makes life so much easier as you know exactly what drive you're working 
with (don't have to remember UUID) if you create a name that reflects the 
drive in a unique way. It just so happens none of my drives are exactly the 
same size ... (as per above example of using the size :)

Google how to set volume labels on drives as it differs for all filesystem 
types.

BC.

To add to Kevin's list:

4a. Mount it manually and run myth to confirm it works.
4b. Edit /etc/fstab to make it permanent. I would recommend
discovering the UUID[1] of the drive for mounting. That way if you
move things around or upgrade the MB and your drives get detected
another way (swapping of /dev/sda and sdb) things will still get
mounted properly.
