Hello everyone,<br><br>Thought I'd drop a quick note to share my experience tonight. The drive I store my recordings on filled up and auto-expire did nothing about it. The backend log file indicated that it couldn't locate any expired files to delete (sorry, my verbose logs were set to over-write and I lost the exact error). Though, if I went to Information center / Status / Expire it displayed all the files that should expire. I was even able to manually delete them from that list.<br>
<br>Verbose logging showed that it was finding my recordings at /var/lib/mythtv/recordings even though my only storage group is configured for /storage/recordings. /var/lib/mythtv/recordings is a symlink to /storage/recordings so it is finding the same files, but not acting on them. I simply removed the symlink and created an empty recordings dir there. The next time I started the backend, it found all my recordings in the correct path, /storage/recordings, and auto-expire deleted enough to maintain my desired free space.<br>
<br>I hope there is enough information to help some one else avoid the couple hours it took me to fix this little snag. Now hopefully the wife doesn't notice that a couple of shows didn't record tonight :)<br><br>
This occurred on a system that was upgraded from Ubuntu 7.04 / Myth .20 to 8.04 / .21 from the repositories.<br><br>Later,<br>-Mark<br>
