Crashing on Record

[Phaeton]

Unable to record any programs when I press the record button I then get the 5 options to record, but on pressing options 1-4 the machine reboots.

From this it appears that ubi0:rootfs is full, how do I free up space?

[abu baniaz]

Stop enigma2 with "init 4" command. Delete what you do not need. Most probably EPG or one of the IPTV plugins is cause.

You shouldn't be recording to root as a starting point you need to use internal and or external hard drive. This will just keep happening until you use my suggestion, generally most receivers have limited root memory available over an above what is used for the image et al

[abu baniaz]

If it's EPG, you will find EPG.dat in /etc/enigma2

He's recording to /media/hdd which is only 10% full.

hes not recording to internal flash as he found out it was the epg saving to internal

I'm not sure what I am looking for that I can delete to free up space

I found epg.dat but it appears to be on the hard drive

[birdman]

Run:

find / -xdev -type f -size +10000k

and look at what gets reported.
If nothing gets reported, lower that 10000 by 50% until something is....

Are you running backups/image backups to /media/usb without actually having a USB stick inserted?

Not sure where the backups are going to but I don't appear to have a /media/usb

As far as I know nothing has changed on the system since last April(ish) it's been fine, this just happened a couple of days ago

[Phaeton]

After I deleted some files I didn't have any channels at all, so I restored back to 17th April the last time I had to do anything with the box, all now works & there now appears to be space

But it would be good to know what is filling it up, is there a command I can run that will show my files that have been written today so I can run it daily & see what is getting larger?

And did you then reboot it? Or restart the GUI?
If so, the problem may be caused by deleted files which some process still has open (so the disk-space doesn't get freed even though it has been "deleted").

Your first find only found 2 files >10MB.

find / -xdev -type f -mtime -1 -print0 | xargs -0r ls -l | sort -nk5

[Phaeton]

And did you then reboot it? Or restart the GUI?

I just restored & at the end the system restarted, not sure whether that was a full reboot or just the GUI, but I did do a power off/on earlier in the day before posting
