I'd be interested to hear more about your configuration. As in, what is exported and where it's mounted on the frontend-only machines...<br><br>-Jared<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/19/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>then doing it through a frontend box over the network... I also have all<br>of my tuner cards crammed into my backend server... you can just as<br>easily have each frontend record shows but I prefer to have everything
<br>in one place so that when something fails on my backend it causes my<br>entire Myth Universe to crash. One of these days I'll take the time and<br>money to move my 2TB SATA LVM to a RAID configuration.<br><br>Either way, it's entirely possible to share all data to all frontends,
<br>just use NFS shares.<br><br>---<br>Josh<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">
