Hi Neil and others,
   In the end there were a few reasons disk space got filled up. The
main culprit was that watching live TV within MythTV creates a ring
buffer file. In my case it was about 750MB. Normally this file is
erased but for some reason it was left behind sometime recently. Add a
few new emerges to the system and we went over the top.

   After removing a few unnecessary packages and finding the one large
file I was back to 83% disk usage. At that point MythTV started doing
it's updates again and everything is back to normal.

   Thanks to those who answered. I've saved your responses for this
sort of problem in the future.

Cheers,
Mark
