Though they also say the problem may have been fixed as it was awhile ago - and this system has been fine except for occasional minor problems from power failures (such as burning power supplies :) since 2004-5 when it was first built.
That being said, it would be nice to separate the recordings and backups though one large partition makes for easier management. And there is the fact that some maintenance patches to reiserfs mean I cant use kernels 2.6.29-30 (oops's) - though a trial of a vanilla .31-rc worked fine so I am waiting until thats out. Anyhow, I am rambling - thanks for the pointers. BillK
