Depends on the size of your disks. :) I've got several 400GB disks, and my
recordings directory fits easily on one of those - only got a hundred or
so hours recorded usually.

My videos partition doesn't fit in 400GB so I have no choice but to split
it over disks. Wouldn't be an issue if I lost it though, since I'd just
have to rerip all my dvds.

All my other logical volumes are on single disks and all live backed up
too.

Cheers,

Martin.
