David,



My bad %-)



I didn't read the man-page far enough or recognize that I needed to use the "-I" option.  Thanks.



My drive doesn't offer udma6, but it is using the best available (udma5).



Looks like my first step will be to drag an old drive out of the
antique pile to move root, /var, /boot, and swap onto so that this one
is exclusively for mythTV recordings.  (Okay, so not the oldest drive I
have, the big one with a whopping 311 MB available.  Shucks, I've got
more RAM than that, now!)



I'll have to work on the WTF before I can go for the RAID mirrored & striped SATA setup. 8-)
