To anyone but root the disk is full if you have put 95% on the disk (default setting). So for mythtv the disk is completely full. I suggest you start moving stuff to another partition or even another machine. Hugo. Yes, but, I am logged in as root and there isn't 95%. I'm using 54gig in a directory (mythvideos) and then the rest is pretty small. I can't figure out where the space is being used. Notice that mythtv is using a seperate disk, hdb. # du -h --max-depth=1 16K ./lost+found 5.6M./boot 420K./dev du: `./proc/3699/fd/4': No such file or directory 5.0K./proc 797M./var 156K./tmp 17M ./etc 832K./root 2.6G./usr 12M ./sbin 4.7M./bin 536K./home 4.0K./initrd 55M ./lib 4.0K./opt 4.0K./misc 55M ./install 4.0K./net 4.0K./.qt 54G ./mythvideos Thanks, James ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: out of disk space, but not really....
Thanks to those who gave me some help on this. No real surprise, turns out it really was out of space. I have a script that runs at night that mounts an nfs drive on another machine and backs up my recordings. The mount must have failed a couple nights ago, so everything was copied locally instead of to the other machine. I assumed it was still mounted so I ignored the /mnt/storage directory thinking it was on another machine. I need to figure out how to tell my script to only rsync the files if the mount worked correctly. Anyone know how to do that? My script is simply: mount 192.168.1.22:/storage /mnt/storage rsync -av --delete --exclude=nice_names /mythtv/recordings /mnt/storage/mythtv rsync -av --delete /mythtv/music /mnt/storage/mythtv rsync -av --delete /mythvideos /mnt/storage/mythtv umount /mnt/storage I know with scp I could do it without mounting the drives, but I'd rather use rsync. Anyway to do this without mounting the drives this way? To see if a drive is mounted use something like this: if mount | grep /mnt/storage /dev/null then echo Drive is mounted else echo Drive is not mounted fi You could also consider using the SSH option to rsync: Setup a SSH identity on the system where you'll be running the rsync: ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/root/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then copy the /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote systems /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 Now you should be able to ssh from the one server to the other, as those users without a password. Then script: rsync -av --delete --exclude=nice_names /mythtv/recordings REMOTESYTEM:/storage/mythtv ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Thus modify your script as following: -- if mount 192.168.1.22:/storage /mnt/storage then rsync -av --delete --exclude=nice_names \ /mythtv/recordings /mnt/storage/mythtv rsync -av --delete /mythtv/music /mnt/storage/mythtv rsync -av --delete /mythvideos /mnt/storage/mythtv umount /mnt/storage else echo Alert -- Mounting of NFS-server failed ! fi - The other suggestions you got, running mount and trying to parse the output and suchlike will also work.
