[mythtv-users] Scheduled recording causing frontend lockup

[Donavan Stanley]

Do you use LVM?  I was able to pin the blame on this on my LVM volume.
 It started appearing for me once my multi-disk system filled beyond
the capactiy of the first disk.  The following patch should fix it, at
the expense of some extra delay in swtiching over from watching TV to
watching the recording.  I've not had time to figure out how to
properly fix my LVM setup.
