Comment:
This is a known issue that automatically corrects itself once you have the
first recording on each drive. We have not come up with a determinate,
easy, replicatable solution to determine whether
filesystems are indeed the same filesystem, links to the same filesystem,
bind mounts, nfs mounts, cifs mounts, etc. blah to the same filesystem.
Linux (and presumably *BSD*) do not expose the actual fsid to the user
because it is a security risk, so we can only rely on file system type,
size, available and total space when determining whether multiple
directories are on the same filesystem.
Closing this as a feature request without a patch unless someone can come
up with a way that works
as a non-root user and is replicatable.
