Well, this is interesting.

To test to see if there is a partition limit, I went into the 
MythTV BackEnd and REMOVED the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings entry 
from the 'Default' Storage Group Directories screen.  This leaves:
/media/BigDisc4/VideoRecordings/
/media/BigDisc3/VideoRecordings/
/media/BigDisc2/VideoRecordings/
/media/BigDisc/VideoRecordings/

However, in the MythTV FrontEnd, Information Center, System 
Status, Machine Status, it now shows these MythTV Drives:

Note:  it was giving strange listings [Drive #3 had both 
BigDisc3 and BigDisc4]; but after dozens of recordings and 
power-off shut downs, it's now:

MythTV Drive #1 - BigDisc
MythTV Drive #2 - BigDisc2
MythTV Drive #3 - BigDisc3
MythTV Drive #4 - BigDisc4
MythTV Drive #5 - /var/lib/mythtv/livetv

I sequentially started recording seven programs,
[two Hauppauge HVR-2250 and a HD HomeRun Prime with cable card]

It recorded the programs this way:
BigDisc    Prog1  Prog5
BigDisc2   Prog2  Prog6
BigDisc3   Prog4
BigDisc4   Prog3  Prog7
/var/lib/mythtv/recordings  empty

I'm a little uncomfortable that it does MythTV Drive #4 ahead of 
#3 and now shows an extra drive for livetv, but it seems to work 
for my wants.

My strategy will be to move all my older recordings to BigDisc3, 
as it seems to be last in rotation.

Thanks to all,

Mike
