Hello,

I've just had an external drive that was attached to my backend fail.  
It did house two XFS partitions (one for recordings, one for mythvideo) 
and an ext3 partition for data on a 500Gb Maxtor basics external USB 
drive.  The Ext3 partition and one of the XFS partitions are 
unreadable., after being in use for about a year.

Has anyone else seen similar issues with eternal drives and myth, or 
have any recomendation as to partition file systems for it's replacement.

Regards

Paul.
