| Post subject: | R5B7 - program files saved twice? |
I found that the HDTV programs I've recorded are on the hard drive twice: - once in the myth/tv folder and - again in the myth/pretty folder. So, they are taking twice as much hard drive space! Do both of these files get deleted if the file is set to auto-expire? If you delete the file name from the Mythfrontend controls, do both get deleted or does one stay? Eric |

Look again. The /myth/pretty directory should only have symbolic links with "pretty" names that point to the real files. The extra space used is very small. Code: root@black2:~# du -ks /myth/tv/ /myth/pretty/
349174048 /myth/tv/ 24 /myth/pretty/ |

Of course it's going to fool MS-Windows, if Samba didn't make the links look like real files it wouldn't know what to do with them. Trying to get real disk usage numbers for a Unix system using an MS file browser just isn't going to work. The command I gave you in my first post will show you the real situation. |

Hi, Pretty is neat huh? Be thankful you see the file sizes, if you see 49 bytes (size of the link) it won't play. I use vlc to play the files when I really have to use M$ 2k. May want to check it out to see if will run on your M$ version. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Mike |

MJL: Thanks for the tip on VLC player. TJC: Thanks for pointing out the Samba limitations. Keep in mind that there are symbolic files in Windows too - Windows shortcuts. Apparently, Samba can't translate a Unix symbolic file into a Windows shortcut. I was expecting too much from it, I guess. Eric |
