Post subject:  System wont load, disk out of space
Hey everyone... ive been here a while, and think i should be able to get this thing working on my own, but latley ive been having problems on my slave backend/frontend with the /dev/hda1 running out of space, and im looking for some help...


basically whats happening is like i said, im running out of disk space on my /dev/hda1 drive, looking deeper in to it, it seems the system is not removing my ringbuf2.nuv file on a reboot. thus when i remove it, i can reboot the box, and all is fine again.

as it stands, after i remove that file, my partitions look like this

Quote:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3.5G 1.6G 1.7G 49% /
/dev/hda3 11G 24K 11G 1% /cache
/dev/hda4 139G 112G 27G 81% /myth


does anyone have any suggestions for me? or should i write a script to check for that file on bootup, and remove it?


Thanks

You may want to limit the size of that file or the amount of space available for recordings. You're running out of space for one of those two reasons.

Thanks for your reply coreyt - The problem it seems is all my front end. The ringbuf2 file is not beig deleted on a reboot which is stopping GDM from loading... As soon as i manually deleted the file (say my frontend crashed while watching a show) and do a /etc/init.d/gd restart - it brings it up again. a df-h reveals this

showing without that fille im using 47% of that 3.7GB partition.

a
du -h --max-depth=1

seems ./usr is the bigger dir here with 1.3G being used, cd in to that and did another du -h --max-depth=1

seems pretty scattered, im not a linux guru so i dont know what i can safley remove and what i can,t going off this info, can someone tell me please? to help me free up my space.

i also through setup - tv settings - general changed my HD Ringbuffer size to 4700, 14100 and others to try to get it to stop that file size from being so large, it doesnt seem to be helping. Please someone has to have a suggestion.

obvious error being shown, i remove te ringbuf2.nuv file from /var/cache/mythtv and reload the gui it works fine...


this seems to be happening as i am watching live tv through the tunner card on this computer... is there a way i can limit the ringbuf2.nuv file size? or should i say fu(kit and redo everything as im losing hair, sleep, and wife approvals....



Thanks

further to this, i have set the HD Ringbuffer size in setup-tv-general to 4700 KB (Which according to my conversions 4.58984375MB, yet it does nothing to that....

in fact, the ringbuf2.nuv file keeps getting bigger and bigger..... is there something broken, or is it me?

huh, this is neat


i found out that my ringbuf file is being recorded to /var/cache/myth not on the /cache dir...

interesting... time to change some settings, just have to find out where..

K got it sorted out, guess ill give credit to the beer im drinking to make me think outside of the box... i checked out mythtv-setup on my Slave Backend/front end... and guess what! on general settings i had the cache dir going to /var/cache/mythtv, changed it to /cache/cache and i had the live tv buffer set to 5 GB now its 12


all is good in tv land again !
