I'm having the same problems with the latest KnoppMyth (R5A30). /cache fills up and mythfrontend just goes dark (have to kill it from another xterm).
The default settings in mythtv-setup were not pointing to /cache, but rather /var/lib/cache or something, causing / to fill up. I changed it to /cache, but now /cache is filling up. When I delete the ringbuf1.nuv, df still shows 100% used, although that's the *ONLY* file in the partition! A reboot fixed that, which is odd. Something seems wrong with the ringbuffer since it's not actually acting like a ringbuffer, but merely a plain file. Shouldn't it be a "rolling window" keeping up to the maximum amount of live tv buffered, deleting the oldest stuff, adding new stuff all the time (fifo)? It seems to be acting like a regular file, filling up space and stopping when it runs out of space.

What else do you have saving on the cache drive? It says it's ~10 gigs. Are you sharing that drive with something else? That generally causes problems, as most programs don't gracefully run out of space. The only exception is with the myth recording directory IF you have auto-expire set, it should prevent itself from running completely out of space. I take it back, that ringbuf file IS the only thing on the cache drive and is taking up all the space. you do still have / filled, though, and should clean out some space on that. Also, check the settings in myth to limit the size of the liveTV ringbuffer to be something less than the max size of the partition to prevent that
