you know what.&nbsp; i think that was the final step i just missed.&nbsp; funny because i was following the guide on the mythtv site.<br>thanks for helping me out guys.&nbsp; <br><br>for those following along:<br>i unmounted the path, it had me run &quot;sudo e2fsck -f /dev/VGforMyth/video&quot; first, then i ran &quot;sudo resize2fs -p /dev/VGforMyth/video&quot;, then remounted it to /home/nick/video
<br><br>it now shows up as 194.4GB under the file browser, which i guess is right even though VGforMyth shows up as 208.31GB? <br><br>thanks again...<br><br><br>
