I noticed some odd things yesterday. Myth (installed using KnoppMyth)<br>wouldn't log into the GUI (machine is both back and front end) but I<br>don't remember the error, sorry. Apache wasn't running at the time,<br>either (but now it is).

ringbuf1.nuv<br>mythtv@pvr:/cache/cache$<br><br>Can I safely delete the ringbuf1.nuv - I believe it's just the live-tv<br>stored video, isn't it?</blockquote><div><br>yes, you can def delete the ringbuffer file, but that won't be all of your problems. What else do you have saving on the cache drive? It says it's ~10 gigs. Are you sharing that drive with something else? That generally causes problems, as most programs don't gracefully run out of space. The only exception is with the myth recording directory IF you have auto-expire set, it should prevent itself from running completely out of space.

(other than recorded shows)?</blockquote><div><br>Recorded shows won't help you - the /myth partition is only 96% full, which looks like 20 gigs free, which is plenty of space. you should look around in the / partition to delete things. Perhaps something in /home got out of hand, or /var or /tmp?
<br><br>du --max-depth=1 -h<br><br>is the magic command. Run that in any directory, it will tell you how much space the sub-directories are using.<br><br>Also, try<br><br>ls -sSrlAh<br><br>(I think that is the right command). What it should do is a directory listing, sorted by size, reversed (so largest is last), showing all attributes, in human readable sizes. Do this in a large directory and look for large files, over 100mb or so and see if they are disposable.
<br> </div>I see a bunch of this in the mythbackend.log<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">ERROR: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt = 1: No space left on device

<br>ERROR: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt = 2: No space left on device</blockquote><div><br> yup. That's exactly what it is - you're out of space. Also explains why you can't get listings. Listings are stored in temp space, then stored in the mysql database. Both of those take space, and if you don't have any, they bomb out.
