Hello<br><br> I'm attempting a Myth Install today. I'll be installing it on an<br>80GB IDE drive, and I also have a 160GB Serial ATA drive on the system.<br><br> I want to add 2 more 120GB serial ATA drives later on (I'll be
<br>taking them out of my old Beyond TV box when I get the Myth box up<br>and running). Will this be difficult? I'll be running Redhat FC4<br>(downloaded last night), and an intel mobo with SATA onboard.<br><br> I am a total Linux newbie (I built and ran Myth about 2 years ago
<br>for a while, but some dependencies broke and I couldn't fix it, so I<br>switched to BeyondTV). I'm VERY VERY much a GUI person (if that makes<br>a difference).</blockquote><div><br>[Darth Vader]<br>(heavy breathing through mask)
<br>Soon you will feel the power of the command line.<br>[/Darth Vader]<br><br>The harddisks shouldn't be an issue as far as I know, but it may be worthwhile using LVM when partitioning your media storage partitions, depending on how you want to 'add' the extra space. (ie. I have a directory on my system called /video, which utilises about 50Gb from one of my disks and the whole 250Gb of the other. I achieved this using LVM. It also allows me to add extra space to the volume at a later date if I need to. Unfortunately, JFS doesn't allow you to shrink volumes and that's what I am using. Other formats do allow for this though.)
