I also had this idea! It all started when I had only 5-7 Gigs free on
the video storage partition. It's not too little, but I still freed up
some space additionally. But now there's about 150 Gigs free and my
backend still keeps crashing...

Hmmm... I never used "undelete" feature. It seems that my recordings
does not expire at all, at least I see some very old recordings that I
don't need, that has Autoexpire = ON but they do not get deleted.
Maybe the backend waits for the partition to be filled up to start
deleting data?

Mine seem to crash exactly when I don't want it to crash. :)
