[mythtv-users] controlling disk space on "/" on mythtv backend

On my backend my boot device and "/" directory is a 16GB Flash drive. I 
did something stupid and filled up the drive.  So after deleting the 
file I moved to the wrong place I'm back to the normal free space.

But it brings up a question.  Does mythbackend use temporary disk space 
somewhere on "/" that I need to redirect to one of my 2TB hard drives?  
I have tons of free disk space just not on "/"

My first guess is all the /var/lib/mythtv/* files to see which grow 
large over time.  Obviously, Default and LiveTV are on the separate hard 
drives.
