Can you explain how a slave backend/front end system works with a master backend/front end system? Setting this up for the first time this weekend and am not sure I understand how this will work. If I understand the install process correctly I set up the slave backend/front end system just like the master backend/front end except I don't run mythfilldatabase and configure the slave to point to the backend system. What I am not sure about is if I need to setup nfs to mount the /video from the master on the slave system. And if I don't does the slave backend have a way to save the recorded files to the /video file system on the master? I suspect mythgallery requires nfs mount of the picture directory. Any other pointers for such a setup?
