Officemax had a deal on a 300 Gigabyte Baracuda drive this week, so I grabbed one to replace my secondary drive on the Windows machine (which was a 160 GB Maxtor). Then, the 160 went into the MythTV box, to serve as a storage place for ripped DVDs or movies I record from TV but don’t want to erase for a while (if at all).
The default structure used by Knoppmyth is to make four partitions on the primary drive (hda), with the fourth being the /myth directory and using the vast majority of the space on the disk. With a 250 GB drive, I ended up with 160 GB used within six weeks of starting this project. So, I added the 160 GB drive as /myth/video and away we go.
New partition structure:
hda1 – / (user files and operating system)
hda2 – swap
hda3 – /cache (for live tv)
hda4 – /myth
hdb1 – /myth/video
And now I’ve got over forty gigs used of the hdb1 partition, and down to less than half used on the hda4 partition.
When I bought some blank CDs this week, I ended up with a free 128 MB USB thumbdrive. Anyone want it? What the heck will I do with this thing? I’ve already got three SD cards of varying capacity, an old CompactFlash microdrive (340 MB), and a spare 128 MB memory stick. Like I need more solid-state storage?
