Hallo, VDR is checking regularily if there are any Deleted recordings lying around and then deleting them. This is OK and very nice :) But if you use more than one disk for recordings it allways wakes up the second disk even if there are _no_ deleted recordings on that disk! VDR is apparently not only looking for directories with the name *.del ? (find /video0 -name "*.del" -type d) Maybe it can be fixed in a way that VDR is not folllowing links when checking if a dir is empty or only searches for "*.del" directories. It would be nice if the second (, third ...) disk could be left sleeping as they then will "live longer" :) Thanks :) Greetings Christian Jacobsen
