    Default /var size limit ?

    would someone care to explain this in a nutshell, it seems the root of a number of my problems I encounter on my DM7020 using PLi Jade come down to my /var being full, such as:
    - EPG not behaving
    - after scanning for new channels I get a services full message.
    - unable to update OzTIVO config.

    so am I correct though my HDD, USB and swap file are anywhere near full, there's built in memory that /var uses to do stuff? Is there any way to enlarge this? Where does it show on a DM7020 what the size is left?

    Another reason I suspect it might be this is I uninstalled a few plugins and these problems starting going away.

    TIA

    goto telnet and type

    df -h

    that will tell you how much free space is on each partition.

    usb stick or cf card is good to offload your epg and oztivo etc
    but I would be throwing out plugins that you dont use etc...

    my 7020 df -h shows
