    I am just wondering if all this is really necessary.
It is not too hard to do this sort of thing via NFS/Samba
and symlinks and a cron job or two (e.g. every 10 minutes
if the recordings partition is more than X% full, move the
oldest recordings to another partition/network-mount and
replace with a symlink), and it means we are not adding
extra complexity needlessly.

Except the script would tend to get complicated in disk full situations where Myth already has much of the functionality built in for that, it only needs to understand that RecordFilePrefix can be something other than a single value from the settings table. Plus, this opens the door for a wide range of features related to disk management that can enhance the product.
