Keep an eye on the number of files in /var/log and subdirectories, not just their sizes.<br>
<br>
I once had a situation (not MythTV related) where a bunch of travelling
workshop laptops all started to fail for some unknown reason.
There was still plenty of physical space on the drives, but a little
daemon that was looking for network connections had created thousands
of little files; the root file systems had run out of *address*
space. It was manifesting as "out of space" errors.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
