Switching to xfs did not help. I examined my logs today and noticed that the remaining errors seem to happen consistently at 12:06 AM. I have optimize_mythdb.sh running at 12:05 AM daily and it takes 3 minutes to complete and I think this is the cause of the remaining ivtv errors. I will reschedule optimize_mythdb.sh and see if it will get rid of the ivtv error messages. I am hoping to get my mythtv system 100% free of these ivtv error messages.
