[mythtv-users] Deleting Recordings does not release Disk Space

[Yan-Fa Li]

Actually I see it too.  Just try transcoding files.  It leaves a lot of 
"droppings" around.  Just restarting mythbackend fixes it, so I've been 
monitoring disk space and doing the appropriate thing when it occurs. 
I'm just waiting for Isaac to figure it out.  It's a minor inconvenience 
if you know it happens.  And I'm running xfs too, so it's not FS 
related.  Before that I was running JFS and it got totally HORKED 
because of this problem.

Just my 0.02c
