Hi Ryan, 

I'm wondering if your situation might be similar to
mine but you've certainly checked more possible
troublespots than I did, I just got lucky with the
timing of my request ;-)

I was experiencing what I thought were lockups when
deleting recorded programs, either through the
interface or via MythWeb.  Turns out it wasn't a
lockup (although the interface and/or Mythweb became
frozen, and puTTY'ing in did not work).  The freeze
was temporary (lasting a few to several minutes) and
related to deleting *large* files from my ext3
filesystem.  As far as I can tell, it's been remedied
by switching to XFS for my program storage drive (only
five days of testing so far).

Just a thought, not *entirely* your situation but
close enough that I thought I'd post.  If your
curious, you can search for my threads from the past
week and change.

Best,
   Steve
