Pool several pools

[charlieny100]

I have a server that I want to set up with drivepool.that will hold TV shows and movies. I want to keep the tv shows on one set of drives and movies on another. Can I create a pool "tv shows" and another "movies". Then create a pool "media" that includes those two pools? 

I don't want to use duplication since I can re-rip the lost media but would like to have some idea what was lost in the event of a drive failure.

Yes, absolutely! 

Though, I think you'd be better using a single pool for this, and using the File Placement Rules:

But you could use the hierarchical pooling, *and* then use this on the top level pool, to keep them on specific pools. 

Either work, but it's your call.

I didn't know about the file placement rules either. That is what I am looking for. Thanks.
