All,<br>
<br>
I have about 300G in SSD space and several TBs in spinning disk
RAID1. Currently, I do not use SSD for recording at all, as it is
very small compared to HDs. Is it possible to add the SSD to storage
directory and somehow make mythtv use it like a cache? I can write
small cron job to balance the contents overnight so that only
recent recordings are present in SSD. The only question is how do I
tell mythtv to use only SSD for new recordings as much as possible?
<br>
<br>
It appears that most of the storage management methods in mythtv are
focused on distributing recordings based available space rather than
the type of storage or user preferred targets. Can I do something
better? I put all spinning disks in one storage group and SSD in
default storage group. I manage moving files overnight (or more
frequently) to keep the balance. This seems like a possibility. <br>
<ol>
<li>What happens if SSD fills up? Does mythtv automatically go to
another storage group to record the new show even if the
recording rule says "default" is the storage group? </li>
<li>Also, what happens when my script tries to move a file from
SSD to HD and in the process there are duplicate copies of the
same file in multiple storage directories when I trigger a
lookup/watch from a frontend? <br>
</li>
<li>Even worse, what happens when a file moves from SSD to HD
while I am watching a show?<br>
</li>
</ol>
