are welcome, sir! And a big Thank You for bravely installing XFS
on your recordings partition(s). Whatever feedback you can
provide will be most welcome.<br>
<br>
My guess is that there are quite few MythTV folks that are not aware of
the "delete-a-recording-while-recording" I/O bottleneck. They,
and I, will be most interested in the results you might observe
regarding filesystem stability and how fast XFS can delete a recording
concurrent with recording a program.<br>
<br>
Thanks again, Steve.<br>
