[mythtv-users] Central Storage

[John Drescher]

> I am looking at 6-8 secondary backends (on FREE redundant P4 2.4GHz machines which I limit to 1 HD stream or 2 SD streams ) and 5 Frontend Machines; so I could have that many machines reading or writing to the server at the same time. I will also be running the server with 1 PATA HDD for the OS and 4 SATA HDDs in LVM for the storage to try to spread disk access.

I would not use raid0 (or lvm striping or spanning) and instead use
individual disks and stroage groups.
