I too was seeing this exact same problem.  I was using ext3 as my FS
on my recordings partition.  I changed my filesystem to XFS and I no
longer get the IOBOUND errors.

HOWEVER, I am now once again experiencing the recordings ending early.
 It always happens when its trying to record 2 programs at once and
the backend dies as soon as it autoexpires 1 or 2 programs to make
room for the new recordings.  This happens usually 1-3 mins into the
recordings.  This all makes me believe its still a throughput issue
but since I am no longer seeing the IOBOUND errors, I'm stumped.

I AM using a LVM volume comprised of 2 harddrives so perhaps the
performace of the LVM volume can't handle the traffic of recording 2
programs and expiring (deleting) 2 programs.  Still...it seems ugly
that this would actually kill the backend.

I wish we could get some answers from someone more knowledgable. :)
