[mythtv-users] Root partition on MythTV machine filling up

[Josh White]

I had the same problem, and found a 15.6GB log file (my fronted sports a
20gb drive, so once you account for the default swap file, etc, I didn't
have much room left).  I never really found the cause; I simply turned
logging off on that machine (frontend only).
