Most of the complaints I see around software raid come from people with HD tuners.
I've been using software RAID for a few weeks and I'm seeing the same problems others are. I have two HD tuners and one PVR150 with a 100mbit remote storage of 4 IDE drives in RAID 5. The PVR 150 recordings are fine, but HD streams are not so great, especially if I have auto-commercial detection running or anything else going on while recording. I wonder if you had an HD tuner if any problems would creep up. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
