Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your reply. My master backend has 1 storage group
(default) containing 4 local disks/directories:<br>
/tv0/record<br>
/tv1/record<br>
/tv2/record<br>
/tv3/record<br>
<br>
I assume I need to mount these same directories on my slave and then
create a storage group that contains them?<br>
<br>
Just making sure that the slave needs access to the drives directly
and it's not done via some MythTV protocol.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Drew<br>
