If it's not consistently happening with simultaneous recordings it's probably not a throughput issue. You could try recording say 6 things at once to test this.<br>

Inconclusive results. iotop shows about 2MB/sec to two storage groups.<br>
gnome-system-monitor shows mythbackend and mount.ntfs both ranging from 3 to 6% CPU. Both cpus running about 15-20%<br>
some recordings OK. Some show corruption. Corrupt shows are on Sommet and Prime. This is not always the case.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Probably not a HD or RAM bottleneck if they're not all corrupt. Maybe do some testing with commercial detection off in case that is corrupting them somehow. Might also be worth looking into whether one tuner in particular is the source of corrupt recordings.<br>

I'll investigate that log entry further.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Have a look at the kernel log too.<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br>Steve<br></div></div></div></div>
