I recently did some research into drives of this capacity, and I was disappointed to see that my preferred vendor, Seagate, was getting rather poor reliability reviews for the 750GB capacity. Pricewise, 500GB seems to be the sweet spot. > ...MythTV storage groups... If I can't use that to put > content across two drives, then I'll get one big drive. There's always LVM and/or RAID. By as Dan said, storage groups should do what you want (though I haven't tried them myself). My current MythTV drive array is built with some drives that were intended for another application. Now that I'm looking to free up at least a couple of those 320 GB drives to go back to their intended purpose, I'm considering my options. I need to take another look and see if it is still not possible to grow a RAID5 array (last time I tried it didn't work; supposedly fixed in newer kernels). If so, then one option I was considering is a pair of RAID1 mirrors, joined via LVM. Though with storage groups, it's now possible to dispense with the added complication of LVM. (Setting up LVM was really pretty simple, it does however add another layer that could be problematic if a drive (array) fails.) Dan Ritter wrote: > If you use SVN MythTV, you can. That's the down side. It hasn't made it into a release yet, and thus no convenient packages. Although for those on Ubuntu, supposedly you can get packaged nightly builds from the Mythbuntu[1] guys. 1. http://www.mythbuntu.org/ -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
