One way to go is to forget about running Rivendell on the /var/snd file system computer. If you need that much storage, set up a computer with BSD or Solaris X86 and build a ZFS store to put your /var/snd on. Offer it as an NFS share and after you get your simple/tiny disk Broadcast Appliance built, mount /var/snd from the NFS share.
You'll have all the advantages of a high reliability, flexible and easy to administer file server which can have lots of cooling fans (since it doesn't have to be in the studio) and you'll have a simplified Rivendell installation that can be put on a quiet, low power small foot print computer in the studio. A lot of places put the MySQL server on the separate machine but I think it's easiest to just let the BA disk install put that on the playout station. You can't hardly buy drives smaller than 320 GB these days and you only need about 10% of that for a full Rivendell installation if the audio storage is somewhere else.
