[mythtv-users] Storage groups, NFS, and uniqueness

[Jim Stichnoth]

I have a master backend (mythmaster) with two drives, and the default
storage group has two directories, one per drive.  I have a slave
backend (mythfe3), which has a USB tuner and is diskless.  Its default
storage group is set up to point over NFS to the master backend's two
drives.

Is there some way to let the system know that the storage groups on
the master and slave backend are really the same, for the purpose of
disk load balancing and free space calculation?  For example, the
mythweb backend status page shows twice the amount of available space
as there actually is:
