I have currently a back and frontend running which I thought would be the main main myth box for a while. However I realised I bought a microATX case which meant I needed to reconfigure when I upgraded.<br><br>So it has meant I am going to build a new myth box. The thing is that I built the old one with a 8GB HD for the OS and a 250GB HD for the myth related files (eg video,music etc). Furthermore the 250GB was setup as a LVM in anticipation of adding more to this existing box. However it is woefully inadeqaute and the 250GB will have to move to the new box. So as it stands things look like this:<br>

What are the pitfalls I should look out for? BTW I think it is formatted as ReiserFS.<br>
