[mythtv-users] Diskless backend?

[Max]

I've been pondering going diskless on front AND backend (store all data on NAS). The frontend is easy and I am sure plenty of people are doing it, however I am wondering how practical is it on the backend. At around 4GB per hour with higher quality, it works out to be about 8Mbits/s worth of raw data. Add overhead and all and double for playback, this will clearly not work with 10baseT and wireless, but theoretically should not be an issue on a "no-collision-domain" 100Mbit (I think the figures I seem to recall is about 40Mb/s sustained data transfer on 100Mbit copper, a bit more on fiber. Plus I am wondering if NFS can even handle this sort of the data without severe load increase on the server and client. 

... or I could be overly paranoid and it may work just fine.

Anyone played with this sort of a setup? Any experiences?
