That's bad news. Could you please add this info on the Wikipage?

Well, this was about 2 days and 1.5 ;) recordings
It's now another 3 days. and there were only a few i2c errors, but
nothing serious.
I did only two SD recordings in the meantime. No problems yet.
I changed the watchdog from 60 secs to 10 mins.
I added a delay of 10 secs between unload and reload of the modules in
the runvdr script.
I hope the machine will be able to recover automatically next time.

No. Since I don't understand anything about what I did ;)
And I don't know the process of officially working on the kernel...
(Just wondered if I will ever learn that much about kernel programming;)

Then someone with more insight should change the buffers and create a
patch. o.O
