Description
My backend recently had its disk space fill up during recording, and got into an infinite loop showing something akin to:
2007-11-21 23:16:10.641 TFW: safe_write(): funky usleep
2007-11-21 23:16:10.642 TFW, Error: safe_write(): File I/O errcnt: 3
eno: No space left on device (28)
2007-11-21 23:16:10.642 TFW, Error: safe_write(): File I/O errcnt: 1
eno: No space left on device (28)
2007-11-21 23:16:10.642 TFW: safe_write(): funky usleep
The thing is that I had a ton of stuff in the "Deleted" recgroup that the backend didn't bother to delete.

I've experienced the same this for several months. I've manually deleting files to get around it, a bit of a pain, esp during the busy time of the year.

Additional information:
Running Source code version : 14946 SVN branch : trunk Library API version : 0.21.20071123-1
Does this include "Changeset 14935" (I'm assuming it does) so it must be something else.

Then it is probably a different error. Please create a new ticket with mythbackend -v file log appended.
This issue was fixed by [14991].
xris can you attach a backend log with -v file
it might be a regression from my last auto expirer changes. I'm trying to reproduce it later
