Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround. + This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions. + Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times + when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case + one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes, + and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume. + A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two + 1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk + fails, you can replace it without data loss. |
