[mythtv-users] Storage Group Priorities

[Drew Tomlinson]

I recently moved to the 0.21-fixes and am now trying to understand 
Storage Groups.  After being bitten by one bad drive in a LVM setup on 
0.19 and losing EVERYTHING, I love the concept.  My current situation is 
that I have 1 TB external eSATA/USB 2.0 drive that I'm using via USB 
because my system won't boot (hangs at the Silicon Image config screen) 
when it's plugged into my SATA 150 port (is the drive too big?).  I also 
have two 500 GB ATA-133 drives.  Each drive has one XFS partition and is 
its own storage group.

I want to prefer the internal drives for HD content as they are faster 
and (less CPU intensive during playback) as long as there's room.  I 
also want to limit the USB drive to either one HD recording (if is has 
to be used) or two SD recordings at a time.  I found the wiki entry on 
Storage Groups (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Storage_Groups) and 
it linked to a post on the wiki by Chris Pinkham regarding Storage Group 
Weighting 
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Storage_Groups_Weighting).  I have 
searched the DB tables for the fields mentioned but can not find them.  
Do I have bad eyes or have things changed?

Thanks,

Drew
