I will do this when it is not recording.At the moment I am recording  
manually
scheduled stuff and it is going to the default /var/lib/mythv that is on  
the OS drive
and that the second drive is normally mounted over.Actually,as sdb1 is not  
mounted at the
moment it may not get messy at all.Anyway it just seems to flat the  
current recording as failed.
