Here again: not writable: warning, not > readable: exit. Is that a problem for real-life systems? For most people read-only is a plain error? Read-only CAN for e.g. happen after an error when the filesystem is mounted with "error=read-only" (ignoring the runtime-case, when VDR is already running when that happens). And you may not see a warning and only notice that something went wrong after you lost a recording that didn't happen. A not starting VDR is a little more noticable than an apparrently working one that just can't record anything. So if VDR suddenly changes behaviour i can gurantee you that at least 1 person will be bitten by it. As you said you are a single person, would you think it is fair to the person that will losse a recording to have lost it because you wanted a change in behaviour that was only for yourself with no apparent gain for others? -- Matthias _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
