It’s only a little over three months after building my new systems, including the heavily-upgraded MythTV box, and it’s already at 97% full on the video recording partition. Yikes!
Fortunately it’s just because I’ve been careless, and I can free up a lot of space, I just have to get around to working on it. There’s some backup data I was temporarily keeping on there that can be removed now, which would free up around 180 gigs. I can still try to use LVM to join it with another unused partition (the ‘extra’ space on the unexpectedly-larger refurb drive I got that couldn’t be added to the RAID set), which would add another 250 gigs. I can start transcoding shows into MPEG-4 now that there’s a more powerful processor in there and it won’t take all day to do so, which would halve the space used by recordings.
Or I could get around to actually watching these shows. I think I’m about 13 episodes behind on Lost now…
