Multiple Hard Drives
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 5:38 pm
I've been running Zoneminder with a 9 camera ip setup for the last couple months. I set up everything on a 1 Tb drive, where I currently get about 4 days worth recorded video. I'd like to add second bigger drive to increase the history. I'm considering getting a 3Tb drive to triple my space. I read here how to use a dedicated drive. http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... Hard_Drive
Seems simple enough to do but I also read that there are issues with the purgewhenfull on multiple drives due to ZM reading the capacity of the boot drive and not the storage drives. http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 139#p37139 . Purgewhenfull is essential to my setup.
Has any one had any experience with this? Is anyone using multiple drives and purgwhenfull?
Thanks!
