[mythtv-users] Is there a distributed filesystem available?

Sure- look up software RAID, most distributions of Linux now have a kernel 
that knows about "md" RAID devices.  It actually isnt a "distributed" 
filesystem, that is a different animal, you are really talking about RAID 
(even mirrored disks are RAID... called RAID-1).

First, you set up your "md" device, which in its simplest form is 
mirroring.  One md device encompasses 2 disk partitions (hopefully on 
different physical drives :-) then you set up your LVM over the md device. 
 There you go!

I found some good  info about how to do this.  Google for md raid lvm and 
you should turn up something, or try http://www.tldp.org for howtos.

Cheers,
