[mythtv-users] 0.00GB files...

[apt22 at drexel.edu]

I've had this same problem....Like Nick said, only happens to _some_ of 
the recordings which is the wierdest part.  I hadn't edit or done 
anything else to the recordings/files.  However, I did have a power 
outage before this problem popped up, and even though I never found a 
solution or fully determined the problem, I assumed the power outage 
causing the machine to shutdown without a nice unmounting of the disk 
was the culprit.  I just ended up deleting the files and the 
recordings(from DB).  I'd be interested to hear if anyone has more 
insight on this.
