why not use that bash script someone wrote? (looking...)
MythMediaMonitor!

Take the XFS directory out of the storage directory list, then make a
new partition (Ext3 or whatever) and put that in your storage directory
list.  Run MythMediaMonitor over the XFS directory, and it will create
simlinks in the ext3 directory back to your XFS directory, not touching
XFS at all.

So far MythMediaMonitor doesn't touch the underlying files when myth
deletes the symlinks.

The second advantage of this is that any NEW recorded stuff will go in
your ext3 directory, again leaving XFS alone.

ooooohh, sounds like a plan!!
