I'd start looking at your drives to make sure dma is turned on. Look through the
mythtv and ivtv -devel archives for something about ext3. I seem to remember
they had to add something to mythtv's code to keep ext3's habit of writing out
too much data at once from messing up mythtv.

This
will tell us if it's some hard drive or I/O (dma maybe) issue. At least
that's
my theory.

Brian, your theory seems good. The problem doesn't seem to appear when I do
this.
I know Linux doesn't really have defrag utilities because it supposedly
doesn't need them (well, that's not entirely true, I know there's at least
one commercial one). So what can I do here to diagnose the exactly problem
and hopefully fix it?
