I have the same problem with a newly updated kernel system. It appears
to happen after an IOBOUND message from the backend. What is your disk
layout? Is your /var folder on the same filesystem/drive that your
recordings are occuring on? How many and what kind of tuners are you
using? I was able to prevent this by moving my /var partition (mysql
and logging) to a separate drive. Now I never have this problem.
