This is just my opinion, your milage may vary. The way I would add the extra drive is to add the drive and then create a LVM. Add the new drive to the LVM and then transfer all your files to the new drive. Once the old drive is empty you can reformat it and add it to the LVM. That is how I added a second drive to my system. Once everything is transfered change the recording location to your new drive group. I see you are using ext3, you will probably get a decent improvement in performance if you set up your LVM with either xfs or jfs. Both of those handle large files better than ext3. Bill
