I would say that the MFS (database) was upset. Database entries are created as soon as a recording starts so it should definitely still be there after a reboot even if restarted in the middle of a recording.
If you are sure you have enough swap setup then you could trigger an MFS Check which "may" resolved any outstanding issues. This can be done using either of the following methods (WARNING: This could definitely upset your TiVo and you may get stuck in a GSOD - Green Screen Of Death)
This will take a few minutes and then reboot:
Code:
# rw
# mfscheck -fix -progress -stream -sizes
This will take a few minutes and shutdown the event switcher (which can be restarted with "/tvbin/switcherstart -m"), although it could trigger a reboot:
Code:
# rw
# mfscheck -fix -progress -stream -sizes
or
This will trigger a GSOD which could take a while (20+ minutes) to complete:
Code:
# mfsassert -please
