All,

I'm running mythtv CVS from 12/27 and am seeing the following errors in my
backend logs:

2004-12-28 10:50:17.099 WriteBlock zerocnt timeout
ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Bad address
ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Bad address
ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Bad address
ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Invalid argument
ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Invalid argument
ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Invalid argument
2004-12-28 10:50:18.416 WriteBlock zerocnt timeout

When this happens, there are various problems that occur:  complete hang while
watching frontend, jumps forward while watching, etc.  What can I do to help
troublshoot this?

Brian
