FWIW, if MythTV had tried to write to the file system and was unable,
Jerry would have ended up with non-existent files for some of his
recordings. It doesn't sound like that's the case (I would have
expected such a complaint to be prominent in the question). So, MythTV
hasn't chosen to write to the file system, because of the
currently-specified Storage Group Disk Scheduler.
