[mythtv-users] Found the limit of my hardware !

[Simon Hobson]

My Myth backend is a Xen guest running on an AMD64-2000, with a 
single HVR1110 tuner capturing Freeview (UK DVD-T), and with 
everything (all host and guest filesystems as well as recordings) 
stored on a single WD Green 1.5TB drive. Last night, for a short time 
it ended up capturing three recordings with multirec, while 
commflagging one, and while I watched another. And just for good 
measure, it was slow-deleting a couple of recordings.

There was a certain amount of skipping and jumping for a while, so it 
was past it's limit, but I'd say only just. Not bad considering the 
only hardware I've bought for the setup is the HVR1100 and the 1.5TB 
drive - the rest was an existing home server.
