So there are two options: * blocking ++20GB just for temporary files for burning and greating a seperate partition * put the temp files for burning in /videoX ;-) The second approach is the most usefull assuming a typical 100..200GB HD. Hence the INSTALL file is a lame excuse. We should find a good aproach to solve this even when a single disc space is used. Don't forget, the majority of users will never use RAID, LVM and similar advanced concepts. Better focus on KISS. Peter P.S. I put it in /videoX on a stand alone box for my brother and had to make a lot of modifications to script tools like burn and vdrconvert to insure their temporary directories are NOT killed by VDR. This caused initially a LOT OF TROUBLE ... _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
