Since my VDR is in the living room, i recently switched to a 100% diskless solution and until now i was having regular freezes when recording a channel and playing back a divx at the same time. (system is linux 2.6.13.2/Diskless based Debian Sid/PIII 1Ghz/VDR 1.3.36)
I, indeed, forgot to add "elevator=cfq" in the boot parameters (which i use on about all my other workstations/server :), and up to now, it definitely improved things: No more regular freezes (about every 10/12 sec), at last with the few channels/divx combinations i know there used to be problems with.
if your VDR really is 100% diskless how can the IO scheduler (which controls access to block devices) make any difference?
