I have a location for recording files - its on the master backend.

That sounds like a total contradiction of what I thought storage groups
were supposed to provide - distributed storage without a backend or
frontend being concerned about its location (other than the master).

You suggest a network mount which will surely totally break storage groups
as used/free space will now be counted twice unless its on a totally
separate partition.

Also, if storage *must* be local to a tuner it again breaks the storage
group model - what is the point. 5-6 years ago I used to nfs mount all the
frontends back to the recordings on the master backend. Surely we are past
that now?
