Sorry but it is not possible for me to describe this error in english. Maybe the google-translator work.
Bei Aufzug eines Gewitters empfängt die Satanlage kein Signal mehr, so daß ich nur noch schwarz sehe, jedoch habe ich nach einiger Zeit wieder Empfang. Wenn während dieser Zeit aber eine Aufnahme läuft, dann beendet sich der VDR. (Restart; runvdr).

(translated: With a thunderstorm approaching, the sat receiver receives no signal, so that I see only black, however has I after some time reception is back. If a recording is running during this time, then the VDR is terminated. (Restart; runvdr).
With a proper runvdr script, VDR should restart instantly. VDR detected that there was no data received for the recording, and signals by error level that the runvdr script should reload the DVB drivers and then restart VDR, in hope that the restart of the drivers fixes the reception issue.
Cheers,
Udo

yes, and no ... thing is, this is something which annoys me for some time now, and maybe I dig into it to find a better solution ...
for some reason channel A fails because of a thunderstorm or a covered lnc (think bird) or one of several DVB cards have a problem with the reception (cable unplugged, wrong diseqc commands issued or whatever), which leads to a vdr which is restarting every 10-15 seconds, and all other receptions will be affected ...
IMHO that should be handled more gracefully ...
best, Herbert

Yes, it is problematic. But the only way to unload the drivers is to make sure they're not used any more, and that requires VDR to be stopped. Driver crashes are rare these days, but reloading drivers may have an effect after all. (for me, I sometimes have problems with multiswitch signaling, and powering off and on the LNB power can help in this case)

Could u maybe rls a beta driver named vdr-serial ? Same instructionset but without reinit and it would be nice, if there would be a full refresh of the display. I need some to experiment.
