Hi Folks,

what about this:

1) Explicit definition of the partitions that could
be used for recordings in the setup menu. With one
master partition and an additional setup for the
minimum free disk space that is needed to start an
recording on an selected partition (may be 2GB by
default).

2) Timer programming with an additional flag to
choose a partition.

3) If a recording on f.e. partition 3 is up to start
and the free disk space is less than the in 1) defined, 
the recording starts on the master (and may delete an 
older recording on master partition which has a lower 
priority)

4) Resordings Menu: scan all in 1) defined partitions 
and list the recordings.

This scenario should be extended to enable genre sub-
directories with alphabetical order ;-).

IMHO it would be nice to have a more flexible file hand-
ling within vdr. Just my 2 cents.

CU
Norbert
