In my case that did not help
(I have a menu entry to force a warmstart)

But my VDR version is quite old(VDR version 1.3.18), 
so i did got give it much attention (assuming to hear: 
"Why do you use such a old version?")

But Ok, it seems not to be fixed:

 
:24 : record /video0/I_T_A/Rajasthan:_Unterwegs/2005-05-04.18:59.50.07.rec
:24 : creating directory /video0/I_T_A/Rajasthan:_Unterwegs
:24 : ERROR: /video0/I_T_A/Rajasthan:_Unterwegs: No space left on device
:24 : timer 53 (18 1859-1945 'In den Tiefen des Alls') stop
:24 : switching device 2 to channel 18
:24 : timer 53 (18 1859-1945 'In den Tiefen des Alls') start

(i have trucated the names a bit)

See that this is a race condition?
All these attemps occurs in the same second!
(the entire log is filled with that!)
That stops only when the timer stops!

Why is it trying to generate the directory again and again?


did not see the warining "confirm: Low disk space!"
in the state of "No space left on device"
OK, "Low disk space!" would not be teh correct message, it
should be "NO disk space!"!
Maybe that's the reson why the is not informed anymore about the
critical state?

Is that fixed in newer releases?
