The "cleanest" solution is to use "correct(tm)" mount-points

/dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /video/video1 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on /video/video2 type ext2 (rw)


And BTW. Hierarchical STORAGE is MORE important than a Hierarchical Recordings menu (You should at least have an option "hierachical Storages yes/no")

With Hierarchical Storage i could crossmount the Recording-Dirs from dvb & dvb2. dvb2 has only 25GB of disc-Space. dvb has 80GB. When dvb2(/dvb) runs out
of disc space (never happend (knocking on wood)) thats it. If i could crossmount the dirs from dvb(/dvb2), dvb2(/dvb) could record over network onto
dvb(/dvb2) when local dirs are full. Currently thats impossibel because VDR chosses the dir with most free space and would permanently record over network
onto dvb(/dvb2).

IIRC i suggested that about a year ago.

wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
