[mythtv-users] MythTV Filled Hard drive MySQL service will not start at boot.

[Chris Gackstatter]

I am starting a new thread on this problem because as I learn more I realize
I may have posted it under the wrong subject.

In the process of installing a PVR-500, I got MythTV caught is some sort of
loop.  Prior to this I had about 235 GB free on my hard drive.  When Myth
stopped working I checked the mythbackend log that is out put on the screen
and a saw repeating messages saying my hard drive is full or something to
that effect.  Being that machine was locked up I did a reboot of the
machine.  When I did so MYSQL service did not start.

 

 

The Machine on which I run my backend is a headless pc that sits in my
equipment closet in the basement.  The only access I have to the machine is
to VNC into in from my windows machine.  After the reboot  I can VNC into
the machine only to see a blank green screen.  So I put a head on the
machine and managed to log on in fail safe mode only.

 

Being that I can still Samba into the offending machine and see all the
files.  I can even run movie files and nuv files through the MPlayer on my
front end manchine. I suspect what has happen is that MythTV filled up my
hard drive with some file and now there is not enough hard drive space to
start FC4 xWindows.  

 

 

Can someone tell me which how to find the offending file and how do I get
rid of it?

Will this large file effect MySQL starting, and will eliminating it fix the
MySQL problem or will something else have to be done?

 

I do not have a very large Myth catalog If I just kill the mythtv database
mythconverg will that solve my problem.  If so how do I go about doing so?

 

 

Or if I missed the point completely and you direct me how to fix this
problem.

 

 

Being that I am not a Linux guy I am sure I used some wrong term here to
describe the problem.  Please ask question if you need more detail.

 

 

Thanks 

 

Chris
