Logging in with putty and deleting shows will case you to have inconsistencies between your database and reality -- mythTV seems to have some difficulty reconciling the two. Quote: Can someone give me some ideas on how to fix this
type: Code: df
Now, which partition is full? Is it /myth or / ? If its /, I would look problem under /var/log -- maybe the If If that is cause seach for forum for mysql.log.. |

Deleating recorded shows wont help you at all. Go into /var/log and look for a really large log file or files. Deleate that and you should be fine. |

Start at / and type Code: du -h --max-depth=1
Then cd into the directory with the the most stuff (excluding /myth and /cache) and do it again until you track down what is probably a big log file. |

Your missing a very important part of Gregs instructions. start at / ! ie. Code: cd /

look at the tread that I posted for you. It is quite simple find out where you disk space has gone. Then again, maybe reinstalling for you is easy well, you never can tell. |

Comon guys, if you're giving folks diagnostics to try, please run 'em yourself to make sure the example is complete and you're not missing something... I always tend to use something like this: Code: cd / ; du -xk 2>/dev/null | sort -n
Which makes it really clear where to look for house cleaning opportunities. The -h option is nice but it doesn't sort well. |

so do you feel its safe to delete .log files, or is there something else that you recommend? |

well I found out that if I go to cd /./var/log/mythtv then ls -l, and then delete the monstrous log files, all is well. I just didnt know where to find them in the past Thanks for everyones help

I'd also recommend investigating these log files as they should not grow too big unless something is cause them to fill. I've never had an issue with my logs fills up and I leave my MBE on 24/7. |
