 program splits video files into chunks of about 2GB. You should use
 a disk with several gigabytes of free space. One GB can store roughly
 half an hour of SD video data, or 10 minutes of HD video.

-If you have more than one disk and don't want to combine them to form
-one large logical volume, you can set up several video directories as

-directories. For example

-would be a setup with three directories. You can use more than one
-numeric digit:

-   /mnt/MyVideos/vdr.00
-   /mnt/MyVideos/vdr.01
-   /mnt/MyVideos/vdr.02
-   ...
-   /mnt/MyVideos/vdr.11

-To use such a multi directory setup, you need to add the '-v' option
-with the name of the basic directory when running 'vdr':

-   vdr -v /srv/vdr/video0

-WARNING: Using multiple disks to form one large video directory this way

-use one of today's large terabyte disks (preferably with a backup disk
-in a RAID-1 array), or use something like "mhddfs".

 Note that you should not copy any non-VDR files into the video directory,
 since this might cause a lot of unnecessary disk access when VDR cleans up those
