Some daemons run out of control if the harddisk is full. MySQL, for example, broks his own database.i think he really meant only a few MBs. just don't fill the whole diskWell, 1-2MB is next to _nothing_ when dealing with video data files. So I guess it will have to be a _lot_ more than that. Or was this just a typo and it should have read 1-2GB (gigabyte)?
completely to let room for small administrative files as the resume file
for example.
