Hi,
since I changed from VDR 0.71 to VDR 0.85 (with kernel 2.4.7 & 1 Siemens
card) I get the same messages after about 20 minutes of recording. I´m
recording to a 40 GB vfat disc which is in the same PC.
So the NFS-mounting got nothing to do with it. Or am I getting something
wrong ? I´m just a beginner with Linux and VDR, so please be patient.
