A while ago I run out of disk space, there were a few problems:
all (or at least almost all) of my recordings are set for "keep until space needed" (therefore how can I run out of space?)
Mediaportal self destructed, it ended up with an XML file (MediaPortal.xml I think) half missing (and therefore invalid).
I didn't know what was going on, the picture got very choppy, and the background of the TV guide started flashing I think, very strange, so I decided to restart mediaportal thinking mediaportal just didn't feel like working today so I tied to restart it (expecting it to quite likely freeze while loading as it usually does anyway) but it just did absolutely nothing, no splash screen or anything, then I saw the "your running low on disk space" windows bubble.
I had an old version of that file else where so it didn't cause me any big problems but it relay shouldn't kill it self like that.
of course it could be more serious, I saw what happens when redhat (linux) runs out of disk space, it destroyed its own files too, the file where it store its disk partition information!
