I agree to Manuel.

The possibility to extend an exhausted video-dir is unique to vdr and all 
quirks could be handled by simple scripting - opposed to quirks of lvm or the 
like.

The fact that nfs can not handle mounted subfs should be no reason to kill the 
vdrs  videodir handling.

and beside that: I really love the feature to have splitted files. Even in days 
of terabyte drives - I use max filesize of 200 Mb, which has several advantages 
for me.

kind regards
