Hmm, is there a way to turn that off? I really don't care if things run
out of space miserably, there's nothing critical, and mythtv is good at
keeping space open anyway. And who came up with 5% anyway? If your drive
is too small, 5% may not be enough, if it's really large, then 5% is
huge. Shoulda just gone with some small fixed amount.
