Ive been looking online for 2 days now and I still cant find the answere. I didnt delete some of my recorded shows for some time and now the disk is full. I logged in using putty, and deleted some the showes, and ist still showing 100% full. Can someone give me some ideas on how to fix this

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.



type:

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..

df shows
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3055144 3051984 0 100% /
/dev/hda3 6298844 24 6298820 1% /cache
/dev/hda4 68097960 48597116 19500844 72% /myth

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.

Well I tryed the listed suggestions and no luck. Its still showing 100%.

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3055144 3035516 0 100% /
/dev/hda3 6298844 24 6298820 1% /cache
/dev/hda4 68097960 48597116 19500844 72% /myth

Im going to dig around a little more, If I cant find a solution I guess Ill have to start over. If any one else has an idea. it would be appreaciated

Start at / and type
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.

well not too much listed
root@dmhm:~# du -h --max-depth=1
4.0K ./.qt
8.0K ./.mythtv
44K .

Your missing a very important part of Gregs instructions.

start at / !

ie.




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.

oops, Thanks
When I check it. it showing
root@dmhm:/myth/tv# du -h --max-depth=1
47G .

and .myth is listing all my .nuv files.
so do I delete them?

I guess not. Because it didnt do any thing. BTW its a 60gig hd

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:

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.
