Yep, and as I allready stated there is nothing in log that vdr would even try to remove the deleted recordings. There is one low disk space entry in log from april 24th and vdr removed deleted recordings succesfully at that time. No low disk space entrys after that even though on may 2nd only 1GB was free and I was forced to remove deleted recordings manually. Btw what is the low disk space limit? - Kartsa -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.11.2 - Release Date: 2.5.2005
