Thanks for the ideas. I don't have the hardware on hand, nor do I think I need <br>
it yet, at least for this upgrade. But for the next one a SSD will definitely <br>
be in order. I've done a myth DB backup and rsync-ed my TV box since day 2, <br>
though not the recordings. The box is another node in my rsync network too.<br>
<br>
I've done the /usr /home /var on different drives thing before, when the box <br>
had enough room for that many drives. :)<br>
