[mythtv-users] disk usage weirdness

That still doesn't explain the usage discrepancy.
If I have X gigabytes worth of files on the drive,
changing the reserve ratio shouldn't change the size
of my files so that it consumes Y gigabytes.

Distilling down my earlier question, why do 
Myth, df and du report 46GB, 49GB and 29GB
used on the drive?
