Disappearing events on remote hdd[moved]

[jHeron]

Clean install of Fedora 23_64 and mariadb
Installed zm from fedora repo: sudo dnf install zoneminder. Which installed zm version 1.28.1
I then comment out the script alias in the httpd.conf file as per the wiki
Everything works perfect other than some "Shared data not initalised by capture damon...." warnings in the log.
Events get recorded streaming works, all OK until:
I want to use a spare 1TB disk for the events so I follow the directions from the wiki and edit my fstab so the important parts now look like this:

Code: Select all

#big disk mount for zm
UUID=blablabla /home/pvr/bigDisk	ext4	defaults	0 1
#links for zm events
/home/pvr/bigDisk/zm/events /var/lib/zoneminder/events	 none defaults,bind 0 2

Now everything appears to work OK except the events disappear from the gui within a minute of being recorded. The events are still there on bigDisk but the gui cant find them and shows zero events. Another issue is now the disk space indicator in the gui shows 95% which is inaccurate too.
I tried using symlinks instead of the fstab change and it has the exact same issue.
I am at a loss of what to do next.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jon

Son of gun!
I just tried to install my rtsp cam and then discovered that the zm from fedoras repo has no libvlc of ffmpeg! DOH!
So now I am removing this fedora repo and installing the one from zmrepo... I wish there had been some warning about this...
If the issue persists I will have to post it in the new version forum.
Cheers,
