[mythtv-users] Cache Directory Fills

All,
    I have noticed a problem where if the TV is left on Live TV for long
periods of time, the Ringbuf1.nuv file ends up getting so large my Cache
directory fills. The NUV file is never 'rolled off'. When this happens, the
frontend freezes (I'm running a combined FE/BE), and I have to restart the
FE/BE and manually remove the ringbuffer file. Is this a problem with bad
drive layout/partitioning (used Knoppmyth defaults) or is this a result of a
bad 'caching'? Shouldn't this file be following a FIFO of sorts? 
 
thanks
-Ben
