[mythtv-users] Autoexpire issues

[Chris Pinkham]

Could you go into programs/mythbackend/autoexpire.cpp and add some
debugging statements?

goto around line 59 and add the following printf statements:

        if (statfs(recordfileprefix.ascii(), &statbuf) == 0) {
            freespace = statbuf.f_bavail / (1024*1024*1024/statbuf.f_bsize);
        }

        printf( "bavail  = %lld\n", statbuf.f_bavail);
        printf( "bsize   = %lld\n", statbuf.f_bsize);
        printf( "bfree   = %lld\n", statbuf.f_bfree);
        printf( "freespace = %d\n", freespace);

Also add the same 4 printf lines around line 100 after it calculates
freespace at the bottom of the while freespace < minFree loop.

That should help show why it thinks there's only 5 gigs free but you say you
have 17.  Should also show why it frees up more than it needs to if it is
doing that.  The smb stuff should be unrelated.
