[mythtv-users] MythTV Filled Hard drive MySQL service will notstart at boot.

[Andrew Plumb]

Keep an eye on the number of files in /var/log and subdirectories, not just
their sizes.

I once had a situation (not MythTV related) where a bunch of travelling
workshop laptops all started to fail for some unknown reason. There was
still plenty of physical space on the drives, but a little daemon that was
looking for network connections had created thousands of little files; the
root file systems had run out of *address* space. It was manifesting as "out
of space" errors.

Good luck!

Andrew.
