I'm all for that feature.. On one of the mythtv boxes where I had an LVM setup, the middle "30GB" of it died. luckily dd_rhelp/dd_rescue was able to recover the data off the other two drives. The setup on the box now is a /var/lib/mythtv and a /var/lib/mythtv/2 mount and I just symlink things off of the main drive.. (ie manually move them to the drive mounted as "2" and symlink them back). this only comes as a problem when deleting shows as mythtv will only delete the symlink. > (And the database could be on a raid-5 filesystem so it survives > no matter which drive fails.) > > I personally use raid-5 even for my recordings, since disks are cheap > and time is expensive, so I don't need the above feature, but I'm > throwing it out in case anyone else likes the idea. > > Dan > > ______________________________________________________________________ > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users -- Edward Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Website http://www.outoforder.cc/
