On server systems with multiple TB of storage it would be just brain dead to put all recordings on one large raid filesystem. A single error in the filesystem could kill all the recordings. The symlink functionality works fine since more than 4 years. It is easy to use and it is easy to expand storage without doing any reorganisation. It is one of the most important features of vdr. Those people that have problems with it have not unterstood how it works. Nobody is forced to use this functionality, but those that use it intentionally appreciate it very much. So keep it, please.
