I have a master BE. It has its share of movies and assorted other
programs *and* recent recordings. I transcode manually what I want to
retain and add them to "Videos".
The rest is a combination of SMB and NFS mounts that I added links to
the BE. If the NFS/SMB links fail, the BE ignores their entries, by design.
It's worked amazingly well here, with variable FE's and shares, even
when one share goes tits up. It all recovers in the long term, when all
are up.
