You probably want to also record to more than 1 storage group at a time. I would use independent disks.<br>

I don't think you need to record to more than one storage group to get load balancing over several disks.<br>
Actually I am sure you would want to.<br>
<br>
As I understand it, if you connect several disks to one storage group then MythTV will do the balancing according to the criteria you choose.<br>

Right. The confusion here is (once again) that a Storage Group is just a name for a list of directories. Too many people think that "Storage Group" means directory. It does not. :)<br>

<br>
has an example of Storage Groups and directories.<br>
<br>
So, basically, you need one or more Storage Groups, such that those Storage Groups contain directories, which provide access to multiple file systems, ideally such that you have as many file systems available as you will do concurrent recordings. So, if you're doing 20 concurrent recordings, you'd ideally have 20 file systems available within the Storage Group(s) you use, which means you'd have at least 20 directories specified within the one Storage Group.<br>
