km box r5e50
frontend and backend combined in 1 machine
km box in ethernet network

my problem: harddisk of the km box is that filled, i have no space for transcoding nor for recording.
i would like to keep my recordings to save them to dvd-disks.
what could i do to solve this?
-deleting recording: no wanted option
-adding new harddisk or transferring the install/contents to a bigger harddisk as a replacement disk: last option i want to consider
- other???

any solution in the 'other???' category?

thanks for reading

Why not delete a few of the shows so you'll have the room to transcode. The shows will most likely re-run.

Why not start Samba on KnoppMyth, then you can access the drive from that other OS?

One topic per thread please.

the recordings are movies, not shows that will be repeated in the near future.

posting corrected / new posting made.
sorry for double-topic-ing.

Add a separate drive for your /myth stuff: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... driveHowTo
No reinstall necessary

Temporarily move something off onto another box to give yourself the headroom needed to archive stuff to DVD. I used to run into this problem with my original box and that was the best answer I found. I've used both scp and rsync for the job but copying onto an NFS or Samba mount works too.

You could also plug in a usb external drive to backup some files to make room.

Hi,

Be advised that IF you use a "store bouht" usb external drive that most are formated as fat32 (that is what I have seen anyway) Because of that you can only save files 4 gig or less in size as that is a fat32 limitation.

So any of those 5 ~ 6 gig movies won't go.

A solution is to reformat the external usb drive to be an ext3 then the file size is not an issue.
