It was determined that this was caused by using the OS disk for recording shows (something about the amount of IO generated by Mysql). I do not experience this pausing problem when watching livetv, since livetv is stored on the other disk.<br>

<p>No you won't have access to them. Move them to /myth/shows3.</p>
<p>You may then have a lot of space left on the /mny/shows2 drive. It can be profitably used for videos or photos or music.</p>
<p>Mike, what about a 'watch from but don't record to' storage group type? Actually I guess that pretty well matches a description of the videos collection :)</p>
