Directory and file permissions: XBMC vs XDSL

[linuph]

In XDSL's file manager I can see the 'Video' directory on the F-drive, called hda55 in XDSL, presumably created by XBMC. I created a directory with XDSL as follows:

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/hda55/Video
mkdir -p video1

I can't see this directory in XBMC, even after:

Code: Select all

chmod -R 777 /mnt/hda55/Video

The other way around: directories I make in XBMC are not visible in XDSL.

I seem to remember that, when in XDSL, I have to mount hda55 as a FATX drive but I can't find back the information on that.

Am I correct about FATX? If so, can someone guide me along? And if not, what could be the solution?

Ah, seek and ye shall find:

Indeed a FATX thing. Hopefully useful for other seekers

If I was you, I would not fool around with other partitions from XDSL...
Unless you 100% do not care about this data.

Anyway, why in hell would you "need" that ?

My Internet speed is too low for decent playing of video streams. So I built a PVR that downloads and saves videos from the Internet, ready to be played with XBMC smoothly anytime. That's why I need access to XBMC's F-drive. The PVR is written in BASH.
