In my opinion, this way a great feature of VDR would be lost.
This method may have been useful in the old days where large harddisks were unavailable or hard to come by. Now we're living in the age of terabyte disks, and setting up a VDR with 1TB of video storage (even using a second disk to have a RAID-1 for data safety) os no big deal any more.
There is *no* alternative to easily add more space to VDR.
Isn't LVM the keyword here?
I agree to Manuel.
The possibility to extend an exhausted video-dir is unique to vdr and all quirks could be handled by simple scripting - opposed to quirks of lvm or the like.
The fact that nfs can not handle mounted subfs should be no reason to kill the vdrs videodir handling.
and beside that: I really love the feature to have splitted files. Even in days of terabyte drives - I use max filesize of 200 Mb, which has several advantages for me.
