Example:

new-recording
Syntax:
new-recording [<Blocks> [<BlockSize>]] [<InsertTag>]
Description: Allocate disk space for a new MDR recording.
The arguments
<Blocks> and <BlockSize> specify the size of the new recording. The
size is given in
<Blocks> (as a decimal number) of size <BlockSize>.
The possible values for
<BlockSize> are K or k (for KiB), M or m (for MiB), G or g
(for GiB). If
<BlockSize> is omitted then the block size is set by default to one mega
binary byte (1MiB).
The argument <InsertTag> specifies if tags should be inserted during record operation.
The possible values for <InsertTag> are TAG (Insert tags during record operation) and
NOTAG (do not insert tags during record operation).
The MDR Server will suggest a new recording name by appending _
n to the current
recording name (where n is a number that will be incremented for each new command).
The start block of the new recording will be moved to the block following the current
recording block.
Without any parameters, the size will be fixed at the first free amount of space found on
the disk subsystem. If the
<Blocks> parameter is present then the MDR Server tries to
find a space big enough on the disk subsystem to contain the recording.
If there is not enough space, the new command fails and no changes are made.
