Can you post the size(s) of the the recordings that were deleted?<br>
If you don't have that data, that's OK. I ask for the size data because<br>
on my EXT3 filesystem, deleting smaller size recordings don't always<br>
cause the freeze. But deleting huge HDTV, two-hour recordings never<br>
fails to cause the hiccup.<br>
<br>
By smaller size, I mean under 2.5 GB; larger size, over 7.5 GB.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for posting your experiences with XFS filesystem.<br>
