There's one way that I know would probably work, but you would have
needed to make a non-mfs_tools backup of your _virgin_ Tivo: restore
the backup you made. Granted, this creates a host of other problems,
but hey, it'll fix your problem, for a while anyway... ;-)

Seriously, it sounds like what you want is an MFS-based defragmenter.
To my knowledge, one doesn't exist, and I don't know enough about MFS
to even know if one is possible.

I do know that I had a few 1.6Gig shows under a single tystream ID
when my Tivo was new, so it has something to do with how the Tivo
allocates MFS space which was previously cleared of a recording.

My best advice: Cut & paste, my friend... ;-)

Laterz,
