Excuse me if this is a newbie question, but I just did a first install using R5A10. I'm using a S-ATA drive, so, following the directions, I did a "manual install."

I'm concerned that the /etc/fstab that gets created doesn't mount the cache and myth partitions to /cache and /myth, respectively, where I'd expect them. Is this as intended?

Thanks in advance,
/JEP

Code:

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass
/dev/hdc1  /  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1

proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
sysfs /sys   sysfs defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdc2 none swap defaults 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdc3 /mnt/hdc3 ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdc4 /mnt/hdc4 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0

I've never done an install on SATA (or manually) but my guess is that the mount points are wrong and this is not as intended.

Things like the mythbackup/restore scripts rely on a /myth directory and so ain't gonna work. Most of mythtv's settings can be changed (e.g. location of cache can be changed in mythv-setup) but on every knoppmyth install I've ever seen it was setup so that the cache and mythtv partitions were mounted as cache and mythtv respectively.

Make the /cache and /mythtv directories manually if they don't exist, edit your /etc/fstab, reboot and everything should be fine.

If it's any help, my fstab entries are :

Code:

/dev/hda3  /cache  auto  defaults,auto  0  2
/dev/hda4  /myth  auto  defaults,auto  0  2

Jeff:

I'm pretty sure that all SATA drives are emulated as SCSI. So on my box, my first SATA drive is sda, not hda.

Hope this helps.
