"Deleted recordings" group missing (and show mysteriously deleted) -WAF rapidly dropping

Howdy all,

For a few different reasons, my production box is still running 0.21. I
know, I know... I want/plan to move it to 0.22 ASAP as soon as I get a few
other things out of the way. But you can forgive that transgression and
help make the world a better place, I'm trying to determine two things:

(1) figure out where a recording went (the only place I can find it listed
is in the "previously recorded" list on the front-end. It doesn't appear to
be on the filesystem, nor is it listed as previously recorded on mythweb).
The show shows up in the OldRecorded table in the database, but doing a
wildcard search across all tables turns up no other hits. I'm 99% certain
that it was in the recorded programs list and now it is not. I'm guessing
that someone hit delete on the show, which is no big deal, because I can go
fish it out of the deleted recordings group... which brings us to the second
problem:

(2) Figure out why I don't seem to have a "deleted recordings" group/filter
in the Watch Recordings screen. I have "auto-expire rather than delete"
turned on, and I think I remember using that feature ages ago. But there is
no group.


Any ideas? I'm actually somewhat more concerned about #2.

Thank you!

Marc

0.21-fixes isn't really a problem, yet. If you were running 0.20-fixes
or below, it would be a whole different thing trying to figure out
what's going on. :)

You only have a Deleted recording group if you actually have deleted
recordings (i.e. recordings that are assigned to that recording group).

My guess is that your file system(s) filled up and Myth began expiring
LiveTV, ran out, then started expiring recordings--including all of the
ones in the Deleted recording group (at which point you no longer have a
Deleted recgroup, until you next delete a recording)--and when it ran
out of recordings in the Deleted recording group, it started expiring
recordings from other recording groups. At this point, it expired the
show you're now missing.

Solution: more drive space?

Then again, maybe some of your file systems aren't properly mounted
right now or weren't at the time when the big expiration occurred? Or
something other than Myth started filling up space on your file
system(s) or ...

Check your backend logs to see if it went on a kick expiring a bunch of
stuff. Also check the file system(s) to see if any one of them is full.
