Kartsa is talking about something different: he delets a recording via VDR recordings menu. the recording's directory is renamed from .rec to .del, but never actually deleted from the harddisk.
Yep, and as I allready stated there is nothing in log that vdr would even try to remove the deleted recordings.
There is one low disk space entry in log from april 24th and vdr removed deleted recordings succesfully at that time. No low disk space entrys after that even though on may 2nd only 1GB was free and I was forced to remove deleted recordings manually.
Btw what is the low disk space limit?
