You're much better off keeping them separate volumes and using Storage<br>
Groups to put all the directories in the same (i.e. Default) group.<br>
<br>
And, the network-mounted (whatever approach you choose works) solution<br>
is really the best one (as opposed to trying to move the files across<br>
the network to load-balance storage usage).<br>

Mike <br></blockquote><div><br>How will myth know where to get the files? and how would I mount something (I've had bad luck with mounting in the past)? that might be something nice to implement because at it looks in the new version through mythweb there is some sort of volume use? is it hard to get into programming some of this? why are those locations shown in a different manner now in mythweb?<br>
