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 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
