I started out with a single 200G drive for my entire system - I set up
two LVMs, one for my system and one for recordings. The recordings LVM
got added to with another 200G and a 300G drive over time, but
essentially they were still sharing the same drive because of my
stupidity in how I initially set it up.
And for SD, it was fine - just when I got into HD stuff that I started
really having IO problems which caused ivtv to go haywire.
