Can you post the size(s) of the the recordings that were deleted?
If you don't have that data, that's OK. I ask for the size data because
on my EXT3 filesystem, deleting smaller size recordings don't always
cause the freeze. But deleting huge HDTV, two-hour recordings never
fails to cause the hiccup.

By smaller size, I mean under 2.5 GB; larger size, over 7.5 GB.

Thanks again for posting your experiences with XFS filesystem.
