Don't know about the physical harddrive, how to tell? But I run this
under Xen which may impact the performance. I'm recording directly to
an lvm device though, not a filebased virtual disk.

Would harddrive defects, bad harddrive performance etc. show as mpeg
decoding errors in the logs? If so, any suggestions as to identify
the cause?
