I recall your earlier messages about this problem. You don't say here 
whether they clarified anything for you. So let me ask a few clarifying 
questions.

1. What is the EXACT size of the truncated file?

2. What is the output of "df -T"?

3. What version of Linux are you using?
         A. What distro?
         B. What version of the distro?
         C. What version of the kernel ("uname -a")?

4. Are you able to read and write a non-Myth file that is larger than the 
size at which recording fails?

This really sounds more like a system-level problem than a Myth problem, 
but at this point, I don't have a specific guess as to its location ... 
mostly because you have not ever said (as I and others asked before) if the 
size limit really is 2 GB exactly, a more significant number than "around 1 
hour and 20 minutes".
