[vdr] Re: system freeze when using overlay!?

[Stephan Martin <dvb@martin.de>]

Hi Manuel,

maybe I have the same problem.

For me it also appears with tuxview in overlay mode, xawtv and even fbtv.
It appears on I/O like updatedb from locate and changes
the filesystem even when not writing to files.

When the system freezes, the HD-led burns.

For me it changed files like /bin/uname beeing a device afterwards
and also the journaling filesystems doesn't help.
(The system thinks, after replaying the journal everything is fine,
but you should force a real check)

I have the problem minimum since kernel 2.4.18 and xfree 4.2

Maybe you also have a Matrox gfx-card?
