I couldn't decide if this should be here or in the multimedia section...please move if it shouldn't be here...
I have done some Google(tm) searching on this subject, but haven't found anything for linux. My MythTV server just got 'repaired' (read severly downgraded) and I lost my big boot drive. My origional partitioning was:
sda1 - 20GB boot
sda2 - 30GB home
sda3 - 110GB dedicated to mythtv recordings
md0 - 1.5TB of general storage
Basically, I've lost my capasity to have a seperate "sda3" partition in my system. I've put the recordings onto the md0, but I really really don't want the recordings taking over ALL of my storage space, which mythtv will do. I have not been able to find a way to have Mythtv set an overall storage size, so I'm looking for a way to have the OS restrict the size of the folder that the recordings are in. Any ideas?

Play with disk quotas.
(or quotas might not even be needed, just create a virtual filesystem image and mount that in a proper location so mythtv would use that, see the first section of the second google result)

Thank you! That would actually work. Just do a dd of sda3 (the old one) into a file. Then just mount the file to my mythtv folder. I may have an overhead problem with a PIII running a mounted file on a software RAID 5 array, but it's so worth a shot.
