Re: [gentoo-user] NFS configuration (tcp/ip & MythTV)

[Michael Crute]

Mark,

Here is my suggestion to get the best of both worlds (note my limited 
knowledge of mythtv). Setup a shell script to copy all your video files from 
the myth capture directory over to the nfs share and delete the files thus 
clearing your local space and also allowing you to capture 135 hours. You 
could even cron it so you don't have to think about it. Pardon me if this is 
a gross misunderstanding of mythtv but if its not it should work like a 
charm.
