Doesn't auto-expire run every <n> minutes? It seems that if free space dips below this threshold during the making of a recording, then auto-expire should kick in to free up some more space. If your bitrate is wildly variable, then it seems like the solution is to simply decrease <n> (e.g., have auto-expire make more frequent checks). It also means that Myth doesn't need to know the eventual size of the recording, since it's checking for free space every so often anyway. --Rob
