[mythtv-users] hard disk crashing and system freezes

[cvertesi at indiana.edu]

Thanks, but no... I'm ripping to my separate storage drive.  The root partition
has about 3 gigs left.  Storage drive has about 65 gigs left.  I even tried
moving the swap partition from one drive to the other... no difference there. 
Thanks for your help though. Any more ideas?
