<TITLE>Partition and Filesystem choices for MythTV</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was wondering what the best way to set up the partitions and filesystem for best performance with MythTV.</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Would it be good to use a second harddrive to save video to, as it is recommended to do with video editting?</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Is it good to at least use a separate partition to save video to? What is the best filesystem to use on the partition where video will be saved?</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> And, what are some of your recommendations on how to set up a basic Linux filesystem, such as a separate /boot, /usr, /temp, /home and / or not and what sizes do you typically use?</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> If you want to answer specific to my system, I have a 2 GHz Celeron, 200 GB Harddrive,</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">and</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">512MB memory</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">, but I am curious what people use in general</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks for your help and a big thanks to everyone who has contributed to this</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> great project.</FONT></P>
