<pre wrap="">On my backend my boot device and "/" directory is a 16GB Flash drive. I
did something stupid and filled up the drive. So after deleting the

But it brings up a question. Does mythbackend use temporary disk space
somewhere on "/" that I need to redirect to one of my 2TB hard drives?
I have tons of free disk space just not on "/"
My first guess is all the /var/lib/mythtv/* files to see which grow
large over time. Obviously, Default and LiveTV are on the separate hard
drives.

If you have a cron job doing automatic database backups, you need
plenty of space to do that as it creates an ASCII .sql version of the
entire mythconverg database, and then compresses that using gzip. I
believe it stores the .sql file in /tmp.
