I am building a new myth be/fe today. Has anyone seen any downsides to
using XFS for the recording file system?
I'm also replacing my current mythtv pc (be and fe for the last 2 years)
with a new setup (separate be and fe).
In the last 2 years I've used XFS on a LVM, spread over 2 x 1 TB disks.
Total size of the /video partition is 1.6 TB.
Because I'm recording IPTV from HD channels I have movies which create files
in order of 15 - 20 GB.

Wouldn't it be better to format both disks XFS directly and skip the
LVM overhead? Then setup each as separate recording groups so the
backend will spread the load between them.

When I initially installed that pc, it had only 1 disk, and mythtv
did not have Or I didn't know at that time that mythtv could spread
files over multiple locations. I always install my files in LVM to
have an easy upgrade / expand path with new disks in the future.<br>

By the way the load of writing and reading files by mythtv is not
that high, so any lvm overhead on this pc is not noticable (for me
