[mythtv-users] Is there a distributed filesystem available?

[Rod]

    Ok, I did a "little" more  looking  and I came up with this.

     But even here, its RAID'ish

    Not being very descriptive in your original posting "I want to run 3 
disks for my recordings directory"

    Its hard to answer in a way that will benifit you, not having a dig 
or trying to start a flame war like another... but I guess what your 
after is something like what some CD ripping software uses.

    Enter path for storage space...

        /usr/share/area1
        /usr/share/area2
        /usr/share/area3

    Then when the areas are being filled, if the file cannot fit to 
area1, then its put on to area2.

    Or if 1/2 way thru you run out of area 1, a new file is created and 
recording continues onto area2, must like when we used to back files up 
to floppy's "Please insert disk for continuation of recording".

    I havn't looked into what the possible Myth0.20 will do, if thats as 
I have written here, or directs certain recordings to area1, others to 
area2, or if its input card based.

    I think this is what your after.

    R&D is exactly what your doing, Your using the Internet for Research 
to Develop your system the way you wish it to be.

    No, I havn't installed CODA, if I want more space, I generally just 
buy a new HD, back up the programs I wish to keep to either 4G7 DVD or 
the Dual layer ones I have.

    Here at work we are running a RAID5 setup with some pretty HUGE CAD 
files and tape backup, but I think mentioning that all problems we have 
had with RAID5 and loosing 1 drive then replacing and rebuilding, your 
not interested.

    Maybe, you'll find a hint or something in here.

    Ok, its some reading, but it may enlighten you as to what you think 
your looking for, or a possible direction then to go and hunt down for 
that information once you have a better understanding of what your 
looking for.

    If your still not happy with what I have added to your posting, your 
quite entitled to pay me for information then abuse me if its not to 
your expectation.
