a)  We're good there

/dev/sda1             915G  260G  608G  30% /

b) Ran optimize_mythdb.pl with no change

I'm wondering why mythtv would expect people to set up cron to run
some of this stuff, instead of building such things into mythtv
backend.

End users shouldn't be expected to be running perl scripts (that you
only find out about AFTER stuff breaks) or manually running
mythfilldatabase.

Mysql sure seems to be more trouble than it's worth for mythtv. xD
