[mythtv-users] possible bug in backend

RAID-0 (striped disk array not fault-tolerant) should not matter since
you are stripping the data however there is no mirror or parity to
rebuild the data if it was deleted. (your wrench in machine).
I have noticed, from time to time, that I may have 60 recorded programs
in Myth front-end. However I may have 70 .nuv (PVR-250) files on my hard
drive.
I am not sure why some files do not get deleted from HD when I said
delete the files in Myth. It is something I am trying to figure out
before I submit a possible bug report.

I was wondering about RAID as a possible wrench in the machine. I'm
using raid-0, and I've run "fsck.ext3 -f /dev/md0" reporting no
problems, so it should act like any other ext3 file system. Is anyone
else striping with raidtools2?
