Seems that approach worked.
Looking into why this occurred is not clear.
It seems that if I push a recordings delete button from mythweb's "Recorded Programmes" it's entry is deleted from mythweb, but it
seems the mpg continues to exist on the HDD, at least Backend Status shows no difference in Free Space. Running mythfilldatabase
does not seem to clear them out either. Deleting following drilling down into the recordings detail screen and deleting there does
seem to delete the file.
Is this a bug?

Hi
My mythbuntu 8.10 (uptodate or within a day or two) has stopped running with disk full messages and NTP failure on rebooting.
df tells me
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 11535344 3870420 7078956 36% /
tmpfs 1556120 0 1556120 0% /lib/init/rw
varrun 1556120 368 1555752 1% /var/run
varlock 1556120 0 1556120 0% /var/lock
udev 1556120 2840 1553280 1% /dev
tmpfs 1556120 0 1556120 0% /dev/shm
lrm 1556120 2004 1554116 1% /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-g eneric/volatile
/dev/sda6 475537480 475537440 40 100% /var/lib
/var/lib is full!
I note /var/lib/mythtv/recordings has I assume start images and the mpg's in it.
OK Can I identify a recording to delete to get it going again?
Can I identify something I don't want and delete in a way that respects the mySQL structure?
Will deleting something corrupt the sql links?
At this stage I plan to delete a 7G recording and overwrite its name with an empty file, to reclaim 7G and presumably get going
again.
The problem seems to have arisen from things not being deleted from mythweb.
In advance many thanks for any advice offered.
