if you have network connection to the server anyway, why not put the hdd in the server and get rid of the noise in the vdr box?
Even 100Mbit gets really slow really fast when you start doing everything over it. I was tempted with the idea at first, though, but I decided against it since I found that the HDD makes no detectable noise (unless I put my ear right to it) and only heats up to about 30C without cooling.
And as I depend on vdr for my every day tv viewing I really don't want the whole system to be _completely_ unusable if the network happens to stop working for a reason or another.
I still think that the symlink stuff is such an easy and simple way of adding/removing storage to/from an existing vdr installation that it makes any kind of RAID setup look ridiculously overkill. That is all.
