[mythtv-users] Fragmentation On Recording Disk?

[Henrik Beckman]

Not that I´m an expert on file systems but,
fragmentation on a large file is natural and not a disaster. There is read
ahead and buffers that will make up for fragments, if 4GB is cut up in 64MB
chunks it probably won´t be a problem, when the fragments get really small
performance will go down the drain though.
An ordinary myth box does sequential IO and not that many parallell streams
to/from disk.
