Jim,<br><br>Have you tried syncing your disks? Try deleting a recording from the frontend and then issuing a 'sync' command. This should commit any buffered disk activity to the hard drives. <br><br>You can also try adding the 'sync' option to your fstab file for your myth partition. That way Linux will mount the drive and perform synchronous I/O whenever changes are made (
i.e. changes are committed immediately). Running with 'sync' may degrade HD performance, depending on how much I/O takes place on that disk. But it might be worth a try. (Note: a reboot or re-mount of the partition will be necessary for this to take effect).

I've been having a problem for about two to three weeks now where the<br>space from a recording manually deleted from within mythfrontend is not<br>returned to the system until i exit mythbackend. It was working prior<br>
to this. The recording appears to be deleted according to mythfrontend<br>and the file system but myth and df do not show the space being<br>returned. The file system is used by mythtv alone and only for<br>recordings. As a test i have deleted a recording from konqueror and
<br>space is returned after a few moments without exiting konqueror but i<br>have no clue as to whether this test has any validity.<br><br>I've found one thread on the list mentioning similar symptoms but in<br>that case having mythbackend and mythfrontend running on different boxes
<br>was determined to be a contributing factor and i'm running both on the<br>same box.<br><br>I'd appreciate any insight anyone can share that may lead to a solution.<br><br>Thanks<br>Jim<br><br>------------------------------------
