I see. I have 2 partitions, a / partition and a /storage partition. I would
like to record to /storage/video/video.00. I have edited /etc/default/vdr
so it reads:
OPTIONS=-v /storage/video/video.00 -w 60

Still I get the error:

Oct 22 07:51:24 localhost vdr: [1579] low disk space while recording, trying
to remove a deleted recording...
Oct 22 07:51:24 localhost vdr: [1579] ...no deleted recording found, trying
to delete an old recording...
Oct 22 07:51:24 localhost vdr: [1579] ...no old recording found, giving up


So you're using just one video directory, and all of that directory is 
on one mounted partition. Thats fine.


Can you give an example for a complete recording path name that should 
be ready for deletion in your opinion? For VDR-1.7.x, please also post 
the info file.




Oh, and please don't copy into a new mail, just hit the reply button, 
and make sure it goes to vdr@linuxtv.org.


Cheers,

Udo

 I have installed VDR. It runs great, but it has one problem. It does not
 delete my old recordings. I have a lot of recordings, and they all have a
 lifetime of 0. See also the following info file:

VDR deletes old recordings if
- Disk space on the root video directory is less than 1Gb (39 min)
- The recording is on the file system(s) of the root video directory
- The recording is not edited (does not start with %)
- The guaranteed lifetime has expired (99 never expires)
- In case of lifetime=0, the current recording needs higher priority
than the old recording


The first two rules about the root video directory do account for
everything within the usual /video.00, /video.01, etc. folders, but not
any directory trees mounted to sub-directories. So if you mount a disk
to /video/archive, disk space will not count there, and nothing will be
deleted.
