Configuring vdr to use multiple drives/partitions for storage

["Andrew Herron" <totallymaxed@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to find out the best way to add additional storage to VDR 1.4.6-1 over time. Could someone on the list give some advise on how best to config vdr so that I can add additional storage over time as my needs increase?

My current config is as follws /etc/default/vdr is as below;

> # /etc/default/vdr
> #
> # See also /usr/share/doc/README.Debian
> #
>
> # Change to 1 to enable vdr's init-script
> ENABLED=1
>
> # Change this to 1 if you want vdr to be able to shutdown the
> # computer
> ENABLE_SHUTDOWN=0
>
> # Options that will be passed to vdr's commandline
> # for example: OPTIONS="-w 15"
> OPTIONS="-w 30 -v /var/lib/video.00"
>
> # Set this to load only plugins with the correct patch level
> PLUGIN_CHECK_PATCHLEVEL="yes"


My video directory is at /var/lib/video and is a symlink to /var/lib/video.00 which is a symlink to a directory on a partition on one of my mounted partitions. My understanding is that if I add additional storage to my vdr system and then add a new symlink such as /var/lib/video.01 that points to this storage vdr will automatically use it when /var/lib/video.00 becomes full. Is that correct?

I have looked for some documentation on how this aspect of vdr should/could be configured but have not found anything that clearly defines how this should be best achieved.

Thanks in advance for any input on this :-)
