There is the increase in reliability, as well. Separating the root and video partitions onto different spindles means that if one drive fails, you still have the data on the other. Granted that you might not be able to recover the video simply because of the size, but you still have the mythconverg data (and you might even have that if the root disk fails if you have been dumping it onto the video partition). Adding a drive removes eggs from the one basket you have them in right now. -- Les Gondor, Total Graphics [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you don't know what you're doing, do it neatly _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
