[mythtv-users] HDD Disk Activity when idle

[Michael Haan]

I used to get this because I hadn't set ivtv-debug=0, so I was getting
a-lot of extra (useless) debug information in the log.  And, since it
was constatly writing, the disk was constantly active.  Setting that
to zero fixed the issue and now my HDD light is an accurate indication
that myth is recording something (if I'm not watching a recording).
