I'm already running JFS, and elevator=deadline, which seemed to have the best overall performance for HD playback during recording. It's been a while since this the thread mentioning buffer sizes was started. Is there any way to modify this outside of a recompile? FWIW, I don't have this problem under ANY other circumstances. I routinely (not during this recording or occurance) copy multi-gig files to/from this box via SMB. There are (4) other machines in this myth cluster that do transcode / commflag / playback (all reads I realize) via NFS, and don't have this problem. I can copy files from one drive to the raid array, and back, no such problem occurs. This appears to be a mythbackend problem, not an OS/hardware problem, best that I can tell. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
