mmm hijacking the thread...<br><br>I've had a go at storage groups and they do seem a great way of say putting movies here and other thing's there even over my network it works well. Create a nfs mount in say /mnt/TheStore/Movies for movies...<br>
<br>Back to Karl's first question - I'd make sure all recording's go to the raid5 array and you can still set samba up to share from there, <br><br>Tim<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/14 criggie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:criggie@criggie.dyndns.org">criggie@criggie.dyndns.org</a>></span><br>

</div>Storage groups looks like the answer, for normal recordings. Lose a<br>
drive and gone are the recordings on that drive only.<br>
<br>
For exported recordings.... put them on DVD and a raid5, or a raid1 if<br>
you care about them enough. Tradeoff between disk usage and cost and<br>
protection.<br>
