have you looked to see why your log files are filling up so rapidly,
perhaps what the contents were?

I have the verbosity level of my backend set to none, and my log file
dates back to december - but is still only 533K.

hi,
I have a smallish root filesystem (7 GB or so), and the mythbackend.log
files are quickly filling my disk.  I have not installed myth-debug; also,
when I go through the "setup" there is an option for logging that is
*unchecked* on my system.  In a moment of haste (or stupidity) I deleted two
of the largest log files and bolloxed my mythtv completely.

once I've done reinstalling it, is there some way to safely purge these
files, or better yet, have them not created in the first place (or created
somewhere else?)

thank you,
Mary

On Another note, when I am talking verbosity level, I there is a setting in most init scripts for the verbose level, for example this is my gentoo one:
