Raymond, that's exactly what I was planning to do. <div>Use my Drobo storage for long term storage & playback, my raid-1 2 drive internal array for recording/commskip, and a script to copy stuff older than 2 days from internal to Drobo. </div>
<div>Basically the internal array is a cache. Maybe one day I would even use SSD here.</div><div>As the Drobo has approached 60% used it's becoming taxed with recording 3 HD, comm skip 2 and playback one at same time.</div>
<div><br><div>So, how do I do that? I did not see a place to have a storage group for recording storage but not record to it...</div><div><br></div><div>I did run the backend with the suggested log flags and it didn't tell me why it was not using the other storage group.<br>

I use this wiki:<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Storage_Groups_Weighting" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/<u></u>wiki/Storage_Groups_Weighting</a><br>
<br>
to attempt to force myth to always record to one storage group.<br>
My other group is slower so I just want to use it for playback of older files once commflag is done.<br>

Why not have two separate storage groups, record to one, and have a script balance out the storage between them offline?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
