Why not? You're more likely to be bottle-necked on your disks and filesystem than your network. I was running ~60MB/s last night shuffling some recordings from my MBE to drives on a SBE last night. Just run one command, and go do something else for several hours.<div class="im">

As I understand it, I should be able to migrate the existing drives and set them up as another storage pool for recordings. Based on the hashes for the recordings, the MBE should pick up that the previously remote recordings on the SBE are now on the MBE and all should be good.<br>

You can add folders on the transferred drives as new storage directories, and MythTV will use them as the disk scheduler sees fit, however your old content will be unavailable. Recordings are tagged to a specific hostname in the database. The hashes you are referring to are only used by the Video Library and its file scanner. I don't know of any "proper" way to migrate videos from one host to another besides a simple...<br>
