It makes sense when you understand my setup. I have a master backend  
(for legacy reasons called slave) with 1 750GB drive (symlinked to the  
same named-directory as where my frontend mounts this drive - jusgt in  
case) and a 600GB array for video/photos/music, a combo slave backend/ 
frontend with 1 750GB drive. I mount my master backend drives on my  
combo machine, but I don't mount my combo drive on my master backend.  
Then I have a 1.5TB NAS box mounted to each backend. There's no real  
good way to show that relationship given the multiple drives mounted  
differently everywhere but this is what works best for my network and  
capture cards.

My mythweb status page ends up looking like this:
