 Hi All,

 When my mythtv recording partition runs out (dedicated partition for
 recordings ONLY - ie mythtv and OS on another partition) mythfrontend
 slows down to a snails pace. After a while mythbackend will crash.

 Obviously this is not a good situation to get into but it does happen.

 Two things
 a) The reserved space option should be specified in MEGAbytes - not
 gigabytes.
 b) mythtv should be a bit more graceful when running out of space

 Maybe A in the above will resolve B, but i find it hard to justify
 reserving 1 gigabyte - 128Mbytes would be better :)

 Cheers
 Dave
