[mythtv-users] Root partition on MythTV machine filling up

[Taco Mel]

Turn off all of your MythTV processes and unmount any
file systems that you possibly can.  Then perform your
analysis on where your disk usage is.

Make sure, for example, that you are not mounting a
file system on /home, when the /home directory on the
root file system has a lot of stuff in it.  (Anything
that is "mounted over" should really be empty.)

Find any single files on your root file system that
are greater than 100 MB -- should catch any recordings
that you inadvertently left somewhere that they
shouldn't be, or database backups, etc.:

find / -size +100000k -xdev -ls

Consider rebooting into single user mode if unmounting
stuff is a problem, and then analyzing.
