Description

I'm running Tvheadend 4.2.6-7~g561355130 on Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u1 (2017-12-23) x86_64.
The timeshift buffer is growing unlimited despite setting unlimited size to false.

My settings are:

{
        "enabled": true,
        "ondemand": false,
        "path": "/data2/tvh_timeshift/",
        "max_period": 60,
        "unlimited_period": true,
        "max_size": 10000,
        "ram_size": 0,
        "unlimited_size": false,
        "ram_only": false,
        "ram_fit": false,
        "teletext": false
}

Snapshot of size:

root@ZEROSERVER:/#  du -hx /data2/tvh_timeshift/ | sort -n -r | tail -n 10
54G     /data2/tvh_timeshift/buffer/38
