Interesting, this could be the problem: my myth box is almost finished, but I haven't bought the hard drives yet, so it's using a small temporary disk. And I just noticed a couple of large .nuv files which were supposed to be deleted (they were not in the recordings database but for some reason left behind on disk). The storage area was not 100% full but was close. > > Once I manually deleted a bunch of programs, rebooted and restarted, the > problem stopped happening. > > After confirming that freeing disk space cleared things up, I then went on > ahead and updated to 0.18.1 - hopefully that should stop the expiration > problems I was seeing. > > -Mike > > On Wed, 18 May 2005, Fedor Pikus wrote: > > > After a while, I start getting these in system log: > > May 17 16:44:12 myth kernel: ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #8: Stealing > > a Buffer, 2048 currently allocated > > > > once they show up, they scroll quite fast and there seems to be no end to > > it. > > I have PVR-350, FC3 running 6.6.11 kernel from ATRPMs, ivtv-0.3.4p, > > and mythtv-0.18.1. > > > > What does it mean, and how do I stop the theft? > > > > Thanks, > > Fedor > > > > -- > | Mike Isely | PGP fingerprint > Spammers Die!! | | 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC > 92 > | isely @ pobox (dot) com | 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 > E8 > | | > -- Fedor G Pikus ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.pikus.net http://wild-light.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
