I get the same messages occasionally. Here's some from last night: Dec 29 04:31:04 capricorn -- MARK -- Dec 29 04:44:20 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #0: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated Dec 29 04:44:20 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #1: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated
These are repeated many times, with #xxx cycling through various numbers. For example [...] Dec 29 04:44:42 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #16: Stealing a Buffer, 51 2 currently allocated Dec 29 04:44:45 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #0: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated Dec 29 04:44:46 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #1: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated [...] and [...] Dec 29 04:44:48 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #137: Stealing a Buffer, 5 12 currently allocated Dec 29 04:44:51 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #0: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated [...] but then it suddenly stopped (after ~2000 lines): [...] Dec 29 04:46:09 capricorn kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #360: Stealing a Buffer, 5 12 currently allocated Dec 29 04:59:01 capricorn /usr/sbin/cron[7744]: (root) CMD ( rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.h ourly) [...] There was at least once, however, that it filled up the partition with a gig or two of this and crashed the system. (I'm also using mythtv, 0.18.1 with ivtv 0.4.1 on a pvr 350). --- korebantic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My mythTV setup starting activing funny, so I logged > onto the box and noticed that the partition > that holds /var/logs was filled up.
