I agree to Manuel. The possibility to extend an exhausted video-dir is unique to vdr and all quirks could be handled by simple scripting - opposed to quirks of lvm or the like. The fact that nfs can not handle mounted subfs should be no reason to kill the vdrs videodir handling. and beside that: I really love the feature to have splitted files. Even in days of terabyte drives - I use max filesize of 200 Mb, which has several advantages for me. kind regards Gero _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
