[QUOTE="spiderwheels, post: 596545, member: 99116"] To answer my own question the timeshift buffer files are continuously allocated and deleted. I full defragged the drive yesterday and last night I recorded a 45 minute program while timeshifting another channel. I checked the fragmentation of the drive and that 1 new recording is spread over the disk in over 60 fragments! It must have been interleaving with the timeshift buffer. I think I will create a dedicated partition for the TS buffer. What do you lot think of an option to preallocate and reuse files the timeshift buffer files? It could be set to create say 16GB of files and simply loop through them - resulting in zero fragmentation an no need to create a Timeshift partition. [/QUOTE]
