Thanks for the ideas. I don't have the hardware on hand, nor do I think I need 
it yet, at least for this upgrade. But for the next one a SSD will definitely 
be in order. I've done a myth DB backup and rsync-ed my TV box since day 2, 
though not the recordings. The box is another node in my rsync network too.

I've done the /usr /home /var on different drives thing before, when the box 
had enough room for that many drives. :)
