them. This is done in an efficient way that fetches just the portion
of the file you wish to read. However, if the underlying recording
files are directly accessible (either in a regular director or via an
NFS mount), you can get better performance by passing mythfs.pl the
--mountpt option with the path to the directory in which the
recordings can be found. The filesystem will then be set up as a set
of symbolic links that point from a human readable file name to the
recording file.

The main advantage of creating symbolic links is that NFSv4 can be
noticeably faster than the backend streaming protocol -- about a 25%
improvement on my local network. The main limitation is that this mode
does not understand storage groups, so all recordings need to be
located in a single storage group in a locally-accessible
directory. However if a recording file is not found in local
directory, then mythfs.pl will fall back to the streaming protocol, so
the recording is accessible one way or another.

The Default Directory Layout
============================

Recordings that are part of a series usually have a title (the series
name) and subtitle (the episode name). Such recordings are displayed
using a two-tier directory structure in which the top-level directory
is the series name, and the contents are a series of recorded
episodes. The corresponding pattern (as described in the next section)
