- The new class cIoThrottle is used to allow I/O intense threads to temporarily

Currently the cutter thread is suspended if the TS or Recorder buffer use
more
than 50% of their capacity. Plugin authors may want to participate in this
mechanism if they use intense background I/O.
I'd suggest to use this for the low disk space deleted recording cleanup too.
Recently, I've seen an issue like this happen, using VDR-1.7.30, where my disk
was nearly full, and some deleted recordings didn't get wiped before a new
recording.
I guess this should do the trick:
--- recording.c 2012/09/30 13:05:14 2.64
+++ recording.c 2012/10/03 12:52:13

bool deleted = false;
cThreadLock DeletedRecordingsLock(&DeletedRecordings);
for (cRecording *r = DeletedRecordings.First(); r; ) {
+ if (cIoThrottle::Engaged())
+ return;
if (r->Deleted() && time(NULL) - r->Deleted() > DELETEDLIFETIME) {
cRecording *next = DeletedRecordings.Next(r);
r->Remove();
The deleting was surprisingly slow, probably because of the high disk fill and
fragmentation. And for some reason, the overflow happened after the deleting.
Not sure what caused the delay.
Which file system are you using for your video directory?
I recently switched from ext3 to ext4 and it does feel a little "snappier".
