It is certainly not enough for me, and I will never run VDR without being able to spread directories over disks. I always have several disks, right now 4 of them. When the capacity of modern disks sharply increases, I remove my oldest disk or the one most aged (smartctl) and add a new one. Over the years, this has proven to be very simple and reliable. Your removal of functionality makes that impossible. IMHO, RAID is not practical for that situation, and I do not really trust RAID and probably never will. something like aufs should make it much easier to use VDR video data over network file systems, even by non-vdr software. A vdr plugin enabling more than one file system would not be adequate, it would still lock users with more than one video disk into having to use vdr or vdr-specific plugins on all clients even if all they want to do is just viewing recordings. The clients needs a unified view over all vdr video directories. and of course such a plugin is reinventing the wheel with all those unionfs variants around. -- Wolfgang
