Strange? How do you rename recordings? How do you split recordings? Just
how do you organize your videothek?
In the example above I only renamed one recording manually. The rest was
done by vdr. When I started to use vdr I was told to do so to organize
my recordings and it worked good. I assume, now with multiple disks this
is a nono?

That's a lot of work for one renaming/moving - and there are several. I
think it would be much easier to use LVM or something like that, though
I have no idea, yet, how that works.

P. S.: And hint where I could start to get information about LVM, RAID,
EVMS or something like that or any other that could solve my problem?
