Hmm, this is a case where i actually agree with the knoppmyth
installer. I have several tuners (6 total) and when 5 (current
concurrent max) are recording at the same time, i do not want the IO
from the live buffer on the same disk-set. Also, for demo purposes i
sometimes watch the demo HD MPEG2 channel, this takes a lot of data
to the live buffer. For this reason the live buffer (actually all of
them on the same) are on a separate U320 SCSI disk, used only for
this. (bit of over-capacity, but i hate failures).

Yes, that is a good reason to put it on a separate disk, but not a
separate partition of the same disk, which is what Knoppmyth does.
Anyway, I still don't understand why it continues to grow. If I am
staying a fixed time behind 'live' then the buffer should be a fixed
length.
It continues to grow until a preset maximum. After that is loops. The
problem with the current knoppmyth installer seems to be that the preset
buffer size is bigger than the partition it is placed on....
