Removing deleted recordings works just fine for me, as does automatic deleting/removing in case thedisk runs full while recording. I've never had any problem like the ones described here.
Maybe it's a problem with some patches or plugins? I use plain vanilla VDR.
This happens VERY seldom. Maybe one in 6 weeks or less. And as i know your system, it never touches "100% full" often. The "non-deletion" seems to occur when the disk 100% full. But OK, the question is: How could teh disk become 100% full when there are .del directries?
Maybe i noticed the low disk condition and deleted some recording? or maybe meanwhile the keep time expired?
Currently i have a little bit too many times programmed (or keep time ist too long) so i often have to delete manually and VDR is very often at 100% or 100%-1GB. Maybe i can now force the problem.
A (red?)display "No free disk,\n recording stopped" would be helpful, instead of the "low disk" display, when the disk has nothing free.
Too sometimes i record with 3 or four cards. That maybe fills up the disk faster than that crappy "ext3" can delete file? :-( (I was really surpried how long it take to delete 1GB file. What is ext3 doing there? Maybe i should use XFS? Or JFS?)
I don't know which of the few plugins i should blame. Maybe the Teletext because it is writing on the same disc, so it fills faster than VDR expectes?
Then i have "femon" and "undelete". That's all. Not very impressive dangerous plugins IMHO
A, VDR is still running as "root". So it's possible to write more than 100% to the disc. Maybe that's the problem and VDR/linux needs a tiny bit free?
