Mike,
Thanks for the idea. I like the idea of being able to record
locally for 15 hours safely and then just using the new NFS storage
for playback only, but I think it won't work from a practical
standpoint:
1) MythTV runs in conjunction with MySQL which is managing the data
files. If I simply move the data files to some other location then
MySQL won't know where they are for playback.
2) As far as I know MythTV expects all the data file to be in a single
location for playback. I've never heard of anyone having multiple
disks for playback, but if they could then your idea would possibly
work.
I like the idea though and will do some research to see if there's
a practical solution. Possibly some sort of logical disk drive? That's
a bit beyond my meager skill set.
Thanks,
Mark
