In my case, my recording harddrive contains only VDR-created recordings. > Last time, a harddisk crashed, I had no space beside the server recording > pool, so I put a backup there. > > I tested then to mount the first subdirectory of the servers recording pool > and > things work fine again - no missing recordings. > I guess it was my fault after all. I would expect VDR to just ignore any files/dirs that aren't recordings. If it's crashing due to this, that's bad behavior! > P.S.
