I tried it, but it did not help. ionice -c2 or ionice -c2. No difference. Anyways, I now have a record hook in place which moves finished recordings from SD card to USB drive. SD is now acting like a cache. That works so far. Thanks Matthias Am 10.08.2016 um 21:15 schrieb Stephan Loescher: > H

Hi! You could also try to start VDR with the highest possible IO priority, e.g. ionice -c2 -n0 vdr ... That helped some years ago on my old VDR server to ensure, that no other process gets more IO priority than VDR. Regards, Stephan. Am 08/08/2016 um 10:53 PM schrieb Patrick Boettcher: On

Hello Patrick, I tried it. But it was not successful. With "hdparm -W 0" iotop shows 3,3-3,7 M/s write speed, with "hdparm -W 1" it is 9,7-10,3 M/s. And the error message about "ring buffer overflow" stays the same with "-W 0" and the recordings are still broken. Interesting: I made a good rec

It really does sound like you're saturating the usb bus. Are you sure you're comparing against real world performance and not technical/theoretical? On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 11:30 AM, Matthias Bodenbinder wrote: > Hello Christoph, > > based on your feedback I made another test. The USB HD performan

Hello Christoph, based on your feedback I made another test. The USB HD performance seems to be ok (see my other reply). But anyways I made a test with recording directly to the Flash SD card. And that works pretty well. 15 min without issue. So it looks like it is indeed an issue with USB on

Hello Christoph, That sounds like a good point but the data indicates that usb bandwidth should not be an issue. I use a spare SSD device for the recordings and I have also tested with a classic hard disc and also with an NFS share. Always the same issue. The performance of the SSD is: 14# d

Hi, it meuns your system is not able to process all the data received in time. where do you write your recordings? I guess its a usb-harddisk connected to your raspi, correct? It's probably just to slow to write all the data vdr throws at it. Or your usb-bus is saturated with all the data flowing
