I follow the threads on the MythTV list so I'd agree there are better ways to partition/RAID the system. The MythTV guys are, in many cases, pushing Terabytes of data through consumer grade SATA drives, RAID, LVM and high performance filesystems like JFS/XFS. It's amazing sometimes the extent they go to tuning their rigs to handle the various on-disk buffers and what not MythTV seems to use. Adfas: You may want to consider talking with the boys over at MythTV. If you want to tune your rig for MythTV those guys are the best ones to talk with as they know their app very well. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
