Re: [vdr] Configuring vdr to use multiple drives/partitions for storage

If I have some existing vdr recordings on another partition is there a way to include these so that they are visible inside vdr's recording's menu?

You can symlink the partition into the first partition as directory. Not very clean, but should work for playback.

(but be aware that VDR's delete-old-recordings strategy expects that deleting a recording /video/symlink/recording results in free space in /video, and VDR may delete everything in /video/symlink/ quickly if this is not part of any recording folder.)

The alternative is to do all the linking of files manually, just as VDR would have done it.
