I've seen cases where VDR failed to take into account that it hadn't actually freed the disk space but just did the .del marking and consequently failed to do a recording or a cutting action due to out of disk space which would have succeeded if it would have actually deleted the .del files. But that was some time ago (I haven't had disk space issues lately) and I don't know which version it was back then. But it was not that long ago, I believe the issue still persists if this area of functionality hasn't changed lately. So in some cases it should actually free the disk space more proactively. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
