What are you suggesting as a substitute? XFS or stay with ext3?

You are suggesting that the best setup would be to have everything
*except* /video on /dev/hda and use a separate disk (/dev/hdb) for /video?
So I should throw the spare 40Gig IDE drive into the mythbox,
(re-install... I'm getting good at that!) and use the 120Gig of the SATA
drive for /video?
