All of 'em are basically resizeable under LVM, however not all are
shrinkable.
But ext2 isn't journaled, and ext3 is *horrible* at large file
deletions. I believe another poster to this list just discovered the
reason for some of his problems was due to lengthy I/O caused by Myth
deleting very large (16GB?) files while trying to record another show on
his ext3 filesystem.
XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS handle deleting of large files much much better.
With XFS it is nearly instant, no matter the size. JFS is almost as
fast. ReiserFS I haven't tried yet.

You can also use ext2 or 3, they are both resizeable, too.
I use also lvm with 400gb and one 200gb drive, works great.

As mentioned by others, using Logical Volume Management is probably
your best bet. You may also find life easier to use ReiserFS for the
filesystem on your newly created logical volume. This will allow you
to resize the filesystem in the future, should you add a 3rd drive.
I'm currently running with 4 drives, giving me 450 Gigs of storage,
just a bunch of old drives I had kicking around.
I actually installed the Webmin package, to manage the LVM and set it
up. Quick and easy. Make sure if you're going to use ReiserFS, that
you install the Reiser utilities too.
Cheers.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before or if its even possible,
but is there any way to mount two HD's to a single mounting point
in Linux? I just added a second HD to my mythbox and was hoping
there might be a way for /video to point to both of them. Thanks.
