In my setup, I have my recordings stored in /media/record, and an NFS-mounted folder at /media/nfs to move them to when the main HD becomes to full. I create symlinks like: something.nuv -> ../nfs/something.nuv Here's the output of 'mythbackend -v file': 2006-08-11 08:17:22.991 About to unlink/delete file: '/media/record/3332_20060518165900.nuv' 2006-08-11 08:17:22.999 Error deleting '../nfs/3332_20060518165900.nuv' could not open eno: No such file or directory (2) 2006-08-11 08:17:23.006 Delete Error '/media/record/3332_20060518165900.nuv' -> '../nfs/3332_20060518165900.nuv' eno: No such file or directory (2) 2006-08-11 08:17:23.015 Error deleting file: /media/record/3332_20060518165900.nuv. Keeping metadata in database. This suggests that Myth is trying to delete the file using "".."" in the path, which is incorrect because mythbackend was not started in /media/record. To confirm this theory, I stopped mythbackend, cd'd to /media/record, restarted it, and then deleted the recording. It worked." defect closed minor 0.21 mythtv head low fixed 0
