Hi, this is my first post here, but I've gotten a tremendous amout of information from this forum and many question answered. However, I haven't been able to track this problem down in this forum or in the wiki.

I have been running KnoppMyth quite successfully for about 5 months I recently had two power failures while the system was on (nothing as serious as a lightning strike, just loss of power to my house). After the last one I noticed the system hanging up a bit more than normal so I rebooted the PC, and found there were errors that needed to be corrected by running fsck manually. I unmounted the volumes and ran fsck.

Now, during logon I receive the following message:



So now I can't logon, get to a terminal and am not sure where to go from here. Any help would be much apprecieated. Thanks!

Well, it looks like I can logon as root and get fluxbox (that's a good thing).

I ran the df command from a terminal and it looks like /dev/hda1 is indeed 100% full.

Does anyone know what can be deleted or why it would become full and how to avoid in the future?

Logs in /var/log, search for greater details.

Thanks, turns out there was 1.7 GB of log files in /var/log/mythtv

8 files titled mythbackend.log thru mythbackend.log.8 were the culprets. The overall theme to the log files contents was:

error: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt=1 read-only file system
error: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt=2 read-only file system
error: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt=3 read-only file system

Any ideas what causes that error and is there a job that can be set up to delete the files, warn me of exceding disk capacity threshholds or an overall fix?

I'm still a bit new to linux in general, but just a few pointers in the right direction is all I usually need. Thanks.
