He said it was also a slave backend, so recordings that are made on the
slave would have to be stored on the master. To do this I think you do
need NFS mounted central storage, with the Master Backend Override
option on. According to the wiki:<br>
<br>
If enabled, the master backend will stream and delete files if it finds
them in the video directory. Useful if you are using a central storage
location, like a NFS share, and your slave backend isn’t running.<br>
<br>
But I think you're right that for using the machine as just a frontend,
not a slave backend, you don't need the video directory mounted. The
master backend will stream shows even if they were recorded on another
backend.<br>

<pre wrap="">Quick question for you...
- I have a master backend that has two local drives mounted, each
drive is a storage group
- I'm adding a slave backend/frontend that has a tuner, but I do not
want to use any local diskspace. I want it to use the same disks and
storage groups on the master backend.
1) Do I need to do anything on the slave backend in order to configure
it to point to these groups? Do I need to configure the storage
groups in mythtv-setup on the slave? Do I need to mount the drives
via NFS? Anything else?
Thanks!

You shouldn't have to do anything. Just setup the slave backend like
normal and you should be fine. You dont have to have the files
mounted over nfs just for playback. I could be wrong, but i believe
that on a slave backend you will need to have the shows mounted via
nfs if you want to comm flag or transcode them.
