So I have not gotten too in-depth on the Frontend portion of MythTV so far. I had it working but I need to reinstall the backend+OS so I have not played much.

One thing I am curious about, however, is how I choose to have my DVDs ripped to a backend storage space?

From the documentation I have read (MythTV official site, Red Hat Config site, GenToo site, plus others) seems to indicate you make these settings on the frontend. Well ... I guess I will have to set up a network drive?

If so, can I put the network drive's location on the Frontend?

And if so, is there a way to mount a network drive automatically at startup?

Essentially I am looking for the best way to store my DVDs on a backend server. How would one do this? Is this possible?

I would think it would be, but it would be nice to hear from someone who has done it before.

should give you an idea of how it works and how to do it.

Thanks a ton! That was what I was looking for -- just some kind of system layout to get an idea of what can work and where to go.

It looks like I will have to learn how to use NFS.
