[vdr] Re: Watchdog timer expires during removal of a recording

["Florian Bartels" <Florian.Bartels@envisage.de>]

Hello, Benjamin Harling,

this times can depend very much on the used file system!
Linux sometimes needs ages (on my smallest compu about 20s) to delete big files (2GB) on fat-partitions. ReiserFS just needs a second (same pc/harddisk/no dma).
ext3 should be faster than fat, too!
