You can symlink the partition into the first partition as directory. Not 
very clean, but should work for playback.

(but be aware that VDR's delete-old-recordings strategy expects that 
deleting a recording /video/symlink/recording results in free space in 
/video, and VDR may delete everything in /video/symlink/ quickly if this 
is not part of any recording folder.)

The alternative is to do all the linking of files manually, just as VDR 
would have done it.

Cheers,

Udo
