Re: [vdr] VDR not cleaning .del directories

[Teemu Suikki]

Ok, it might be the same thing.

I added some debug as Klaus suggested. After restart, vdr instantly deleted
a few directories.. So at least it works sometimes. :)

Perhaps the cleanup fails if Plex or another vdr is currently accessing the
same files? Maybe vdr then thinks it has deleted them, and does not try
again.

This is somehow related to the fact that I now have Plex Media Server
sitting on the VDR recordings directory. But still I could remove the
.del directories easily from the command line. After manually deleting
them, disk is now only 85% full.. And that's 4TB drive. :) So there
were quite a bit of .del directories.


Do you have anything going on that causes frequent "user ineraction" with
VDR? 


I had a similar problem some time ago (I don't remember how many years, 
but with vdr 2.2.0).  I reported on this mailing list then, but I did 
not find that email with a short search, now.


My video directory is nfs-mounted to a raspberry pi running another 
vdr.  In my case, I have not changed the configuration in any way, but 
despite of daily usage, this has not reoccurred.  So either some other 
patch fixed the problem for me, or this is some extremely rarely 
happening race condition type thing.


yours,

But I noticed that there are tons of .del directories, some dating
from months ago.. VDR hasn't removed them! What could cause this?

I see entries in log:
low disk space while recording, trying to remove a deleted recording...
Jan 16 08:23:06 puucee vdr: [30504] removing recording xxx.del

And these recordings ARE removed really. But the normal background
cleaning does not happen.

This is somehow related to the fact that I now have Plex Media Server
sitting on the VDR recordings directory. But still I could remove the
.del directories easily from the command line. After manually deleting
them, disk is now only 85% full.. And that's 4TB drive. :) So there
were quite a bit of .del directories.


Do you have anything going on that causes frequent "user ineraction" with
VDR?

Try adding some debug output to RemoveDeletedRecordings() and maybe also to
cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action() (both in recording.c) to find out
what might be causing this.
