You can always mount an unionfs or aufs on top of the read only mount, and redirect all write access to a local disk or ram disk. That way VDR will be able to write its status files without changing the source file system.
Hi Stephan and Udo,
Unfortunately I don't understand. Could you please show examples?
I have for example this directory: /net/media/data/video/Pippi-geht-von-Bord/2010-07-31.06.55.50.99.rec
Just improvising, haven't tested it, but should give you a hint how to do it:
- assuming /net/media is an NFS mount or similar - create a folder /net/media-tmp (optionally mount an tmpfs on it) - create a folder /net/media-rw - mount -t aufs -o br:/net/media-tmp:/net/media aufs /net/media-rw
Now you have a virtual copy of /net/media in /net/media-rw, fully writeable, where all write access goes to /net/media-tmp instead, leaving /net/media untouched. You can play back /net/media-rw/data/video/Pippi-geht-von-Bord/2010-07-31.06.55.50.99.rec just as before, you can even delete it, but the recording will only disappear within /net/media-rw, the original copy in /net/media stays untouched.
Cheers,
Udo
