<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I note /var/lib/mythtv/recordings has I assume
start images and the mpg's in it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK Can I identify a recording to delete to get it
going again? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can I identify something I don't want and delete in
a way that respects the mySQL structure?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will deleting something corrupt the sql
links?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At this stage I plan to delete a 7G recording and
overwrite its name with an empty file, to reclaim 7G and presumably get going
again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem seems to have arisen from things not
being deleted from mythweb.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS" size=2>In advance many thanks for any advice
offered.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
