I'm not in front of my mythbox right now, so I can't tell the size,
but it is on the same partition and it might very well be around 2 GB.

I hardly ever use live TV mode, though. I think, it happened at least
once when I hadn't watched any live TV since the last reboot. Does
myth still reserve space for the ringbuffer  in that case? If so, that
might be the culprit.

Thanks for the quick reply.
