</div>And I've found that having at least 1 filesystem (each of approximately<br>
equal fullness) per capture card*** in my storage groups is the best way<br>
to prevent fragmentation. And, having at least 1 spindle (drive) per<br>
capture card*** is the best way to prevent lots of seeking during recording.<br>

*** I guess technically, due to multirec, you need at least 1 <whatever><br>
per potential simultaneous recording (per virtual capture card?).<br>
