Disk efficiency

Post by racelife »

Is v1.32 really that more efficient than v1.30?

My home server running v1.30.4 has a 4TB disk and my test server is running v1.32.3 is running in a docker (in Open Media Vault) on a separate machine with a total 500GB external drive (there is 112.3GB of media in a separate folder on the drive). Both machines are pulling the same streams but the test server is also recording the sub streams from the two cameras. My original server holds a little over a week and a half of recordings (1760 10 min events) at 93% ish on the 4TB drive. In contrast my test server is at around 1104+ events (1008 = week) on all four streams at 93% ish on less than 400GB? (500GB - 112GB of media).

Am I crazy or is the newer version that much better on HD space?

Yes it is.

Especially if you are using h264 passthrough instead of storing a million jpegs.
