I think this should show up as system time in top, but I see 50% idle. I'm running LVM across two disks, no RAID. Should be fast enough as the data rates aren't really very high - no more than 20Mbit/second, because that's all that can come in off the air. I forgot to mention: Xine on another system can't play back the recorded file properly either. Non-HD works perfectly for me, PIP, multiple recordings while playing etc. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
