Re: [mythtv-users] Fastest file system
I used to run XFS and was getting FS corruptions from time to time, which required mounting read-only and running fsck. It was especially a lot of fun if root partition got corrupted. Why did I have the corruptions? Well, I have quite a few PCs at home so having UPS for all of them is not practical, also I want to figure out better FS for use at work, so pulling a plug sometimes was intentional ;-) I installed ReiserFS3 on all my PCs and so far never had a problem. I don't really care if it is slower on deleting huge files: if I have time to watch a 2 GB show, I guess I can find couple of seconds to delete it. On the other end, fixing FS errors after crash defeats the whole purpose of running Linux: I want my system rock solid and fixing FS errors is not an option for me.

Re: [mythtv-users] Talking to more than one backend
You can consider VNC, it can be tunneled via SSH, so you will see the screen the way it looks on the remote PC. Strangely, it works much faster than X. Seems like X protocol is very bad for slow links. - Original Message - From: Brad Templeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, January 8, 2005 5:11 pm Subject: [mythtv-users] Talking to more than one backend > > Just a wishlist feature.
