<br>In response to others comments about RAID5 vs storage groups, I realize it is 'just TV' and that is kind of why I like to experiment around with new stuff on my MythTV box. I suppose I am some sort of Linux masochist, but if I didn't break my MythTV box every year or so with dist-upgrades or hardware changes, I wouldn't know hardly anything about Linux. I think I may want to do software RAID in the future on a production box or a Linux file server. So I wanted to set it up on my MythTV backend to learn more about it. I am not too worried if my system gets hosed, I have seen all of my season finallies. So if I'm going to screw up my MythTV system, I think the summer is the best time to do it. ;)<br>
