 I have been noticing a pattern here.  My backend deadlocks and needs to be
 restarted after a recording failure presumably due to a device failure.
 This really should not happen.

 Yes, I understand that trying to deal with hardware failure is not always
 easy, but hardware does fail, sadly.  Having the backend become moribund
 when this happens is tragic, to put it nicely.  Hardware failure should
 result in at most, a failed recording at the time.  The backend should
 simply pick itself up and get on with life instead of lying down like a
 dead dog.

 I will attach a backend log as well as a stack trace of this situation.

 P.S.  I am really trying to resist the urge to set the Priority and/or
 Severity on this ticket.  This issue is very severe and should have the
 utmost priority, IMHO.  WAF is nosediving fast and hard due to an entire
 night of favourite show season premiers for a whole night not recording
 due to  a dual (multirec at the same time) recording failure.
