He might want it for the sole purpose of not splitting up his large Videos
directory.  I know if I ever get some money, it's going into RAID 5 storage
so I can have a large 5 TB array for all my DVDs and other videos.  I hate
that I used to get 3 different folders in MythVideo for my 3 shares.  Right
now I have an LVM'd 1TB array ( I know VERY dangerous, but it's not like I
can't get all that data back).  All my vids are on that array and I'm quite
happy.
