in a volume group, is it possible that any one file (recording) is 
spread over different drives?

secondly, Jay, we can get the machine to boot if we attach all the 
drives, can't we? It could do that when it left the house. I'd like 
to be able to at least remove the files which are not in the 
recordings directory. There's a lot of AVIs and a batch of data files 
I moved there cause you said Linux is more stable than Windows and 
install files you moved there, not telling me you only meant to put 
them there temporarily.

It seemed to me that most of the oops, I've forgotten I have 
hardware, let me lock up and die! was during recordings. or during 
recording. which might mean my files are still accessible. Unless 
it's just another thing I don't know about linux. IOW - I'm not 
talking about ghosting, I'm talking about pulling the files off 
individually.

as for the recordings, i'm less likely to cry over the multitude of 
QL eps than over the Murphy Browns (I pity the dirt!), the last two 
eps of Veronica Mars, and gee, I'd really love those West Wing eps... 
 and, of course, Grey's. Having every ep of House on the machine 
isn't really necessary.
