• You will not be presented with Linux system file systems, for example, /proc, /sys, etc.

Note

When allocating media folders from the same device or RAID group it is recommended to

associate them with the same storage set. Hard drive thrashing can occur if media folders from the

same hard drive are spread across several storage sets, this could result in the systems

performance being downgraded when the hard drive is being overworked.

When a media folder is moved to another storage set, all previously recorded media will still be

retrievable via clip export and playback in victor unified client
