Can you create a filesystem for myth to use that will span that much storage space? Probably. Will you have administrative problems down the line caused by *having* to have a filesystem that large? Eventually. Would it be a good idea if someone ginned up patches to permit Myth to span multiple mount points with its stored video files? Certainly. :-) I believe someone actually already is/has, though I don't recall whether they're mainline or not. But if you're considering 2TB (we're at 600+GB ourselves), you might oughtta look into it. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
