/var/log/Otverr messages (free space too badly fragmented)

[icurnet]

I ftp'd the contents of /var/log to a Linux host and started reviewing them. I noticed allot of fragmentation messages in /var/log/Otverr (pasted below).

Will Tivo correct the disk fragmentation? Can I ??

Thanks!
David

A few other people have seen this issue, though I haven't, and this post (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27095&page=1&pp=15) has a little utility that has fixed this issue for a few people. good luck

I started getting this kind of stuff on my DSR6000. Over Jan 1 I had to rebuild this TiVo due to a trashed database. Used an old image and then used the backup script to restore SP/Wishlists. Things were fine for a few days of massive recordings then these errors started:

I made the mistake of trying to run the fixit script while the TiVo was hung and that forced a reboot. I ran it again this morning but it reported no problems. I guess I'll have to wait and see what else happens and hope that the disk fills up soon or that I get a genuine garbage collection to run.
