I should add that, on my mythtbackend box, the "Recordings" directory is set to a specific filesystem/drive of the array, not going through mhddfs. I believe you were asking about this specific point. It turns out that it *could* use mhddfs after all (performance is a non-issue), but I _like_ having the recordings all on one drive rather than spread over the array. My box holds mostly (static) video content rather than (dynamic) recordings.
