[mythtv-users] Restricting the size of storage group

[jansenj]

Can you just use the "Extra Disk Space" parameter found on the frontend
Setup->TV Settings->General.  But I don't know how this would work with
multiple storage groups.  This parameter should probably move to the setup
of the storage groups, but thats not the question at hand.
