I can understand that you are upset because of this, but
please understand that the original approach expected only
one big disk, so it never occured to me that such a check
would be necessary.

I agree that checking whether the recording that's about to
be deleted is on the same partition as one of the /videoX
directories. I'll implement this as soon as I find the time
(unless somebody else sends a patch).
