Nothing obvious with a with a quick look - I am running another check and will look closer where it stops. Nothing critical stored there - mythtv recordings, duplicate backups (dirvish) of other systems and the like. I have separate backups of some myth config files so I can lose it. Probably will have to eventually but Ive tried ext2 and ext3 but they cant take the thrashing dirvish gives a file system (or anything else it seems - dont know why they have a good reputation because my usage doesnt show it ...)
