Maybe I shouldn't, but the live recording directory is currently on a
fat32 partition.  I'm tight on disc space and it's the only partition
with reasonably large space left (20GB).  But my mythtv setup is just
an experiement for now.  It's on my desktop PC.  I'm in the process of
building a Pundit-R for the production system.
