[mythtv-users] Deleting Recordings does not release Disk Space

[Zaheer Merali]

I got this when I was using xfs.  This is not myth's fault at all.  I
cured it, by rebooting the box with a Knoppix cd and doing an xfs
check on the disk.  This put 60GB of crap that I had deleted before in
the lost+found directory.  I deleted it and got 60GB of disk space
back.
