I would doubt that one hd could record 2 hd streams while serving 3 frontends with hd streams, and this is with commflagging and other processes reduced to the bare minimum.</p></blockquote><div>OK.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<p>I have one hd recording 4 sd shows and 2hd shows while serving 1 frontend and comm flagging 1 show... this overwelms the drive on occasion.</p>
<p>Db and os are on a seperate drive.</p></blockquote><div>So how should I set things up then ? Should I have 1 hd for each HD-PVR ? And if so, what prevents all 3 front ends from accessing content on 1 drive ?<br><br>

<p>As you are using hdpvrs I presume all content would be high bitrate recordings.</p></blockquote><div>Yes, if recording HD, which we will be at every opportunity.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<p>As a minimum I would look at using two drives with large partitions, not in raid and each setup in myth storage groups with spreading of load based on i/o load.</p></blockquote><div><br>I have no idea how to do that. Could you point me to some documentation ?<br>
