Re: myth box



Craig,

Not "ls -l" or "ls -lh", but rather "ls -ld":

$ ls -ld /storage
drwxr-xr-x  2 mythtv mythtv  4096 2011-05-04 14:01 /storage
 -and-
$ ls -ld /storage/recordings
drwxr-xr-x  2 mythtv mythtv  4096 2011-05-04 14:01 /storage/recordings

Pretty sure you've got the second one OK. Need to confirm the first.
