AFAIK notail disables reiser's ability to pack small (<12k) files together, and since recordings are just a little bit bigger, I don't think that this would help.
Yes and no- it doesn't have to gather / manage tails that way and there are also los of small files in the video-dir/same partition.
The time I had this issue, I was excessively using VDR's ability to automatically delete old recordings, so free disk space was always running down to 1 GByte (39 min), and this remaining GByte was mostly fragmented down to thousands of pieces of a few KBytes. I doubt that any other file system would do better.
Most system start to degrade heavily from 70% filled.
