[Bug 311045] Re: Constant hard drive activity

[Alan]

Nick, these log files do exist, but they are both empty.

I just used a ubuntu package, I didn't build mythtv myself. I don't
remember seeing an error logging option, although I didn't look for one.

After installing mythtv, I never really used it. After spending ages
trying to get my obscure tv tuner working with v4l, I went to bed
because it was late.

I didn't have any need to watch TV, and I didn't give it much thought
for the next few days. I noticed that there was heaps of disk activity,
but I am new to EXT3 (and linux, I have used freebsd exclusively for
nearly 5 years), and I just assumed it was an fsck or something.

After approximately 3 days, I realised that the disk activity was still
present, and I decided to find out what was causing it. That was when I
found mythtv-backend was the problem, and I removed it from my system
entirely, after killing the process.
