I'm adding a 1000GB drive to my existing 500GB.<br>
<br>
Heh - this gets asked a lot :) However I'd just like to confirm I've got the<br>
procedure right.<br>
<br>
1. The new drive will be formatted with XFS as my understanding is that XFS<br>
is much better and quicker at handling large files - deletes no longer clog up<br>
the system and I can turn slow deletes off.<br>
<br>
2. Also I will be moving all my existing recordings off the 500GB to the<br>
1000GB drive. I believe I can just move the files and update the storage group<br>
(Default) to point to the new drive. No need to update the DB apart from that.</blockquote><div><br>Or better yet, move everything to the new drive, mount the new drive where the old drive was mounted in your filesystem, then remount the old drive in a new place for videos. Don't have to change anything for Storage Groups.<br>
