[mythtv-users] Bizarre recording error trying to put recording in root directory

[Peter Bennett]

One recording today failed. It has this in the log

  rec->GetPathname(): '/3930_20210419070000.ts'

and then cannot write to the file.

On every other recording I see things like rec->GetPathname(): 
'/srv/mythtv/video4/recordings/3714_20210419150000.ts

I checked my storage directories, they are set to 
/srv/mythtv/video1/recordings through /srv/mythtv/video4/recordings. 
Nowhere is root directory specified.

It is supposed to choose the recording group with most space. video4 has 
3200 GB, video 1-3 have around 1100 GB each. Root has 21 GB, much less, 
even if it was specified.

This is the first time it has happened. The next recording to start was 
fine.
