<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have searched through the threads, nothing really
jumps out to answer....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How large would you expect the database to be on
an 8 month old system? I have been running a system since around the turn
of the year, FC5 I think (maybe 6, not really of consequence) I am currently in
the process of moving the database and the capture devices to a new box. Access
to the database has been generally getting slower recently, as has deleting
files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought that dumping the database, renaming
everyting that was computer name specific (via sed) and then importing on
the new machine would be a good way of doing things. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When the database was dumped (only mythconverg at
the moment) the size is 168Mb. This seems quite excessive. Not determined
exactly where the data is yet (EPG?) but is this normal? Is there a good spring
clean routine to improve matters (a 168Mb database has got to cause a little bit
of lag, my new data store can only do around 300Mb R/W /s
non-sequential)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
