[mythtv-users] Partitioning 1TB disk to MythTV

[Josu Lazkano]

Thanks for your replyes, I am not any expert on this, so I must read
lots before start to config the partition, I used to select automatic
partition on my last Debian installs.

For the second drive, ¿which will be the ideal one? ¿SSD? My HTPC has
a small box, so it will be 2,5 inches, it is SATA.

Thanks for all your help.
