Any way to achieve what I'm trying to do then? Maybe I should ask on the MythTV
mailing list.
Yeah I'm not sure how its threshold works, how configurable it is. I
think it's functionally the same thing as a separate partition if its
threshold triggers once a used amount value has been reached, i.e. in
its own directory. Or alternatively % used or % remaining.
