20 This turned into a book. The bottom few paragraphs are the most
21 important parts. It ends up working tho, just weirdly. Is that a
22 word? o_O

24 Well, I got my shiney new DVD drive. It still doesn't burn a thing. I
25 still get this which looks like the same error to me:

91 The regular window that is open during the burning process still gives
92 the "no space left on device" error.

111 I configured k3b to use /data/tmp/ for temp files. It has well over
112 300Gbs of free space. I don't know what is out of space but it ain't my
113 hard drives.
114
115 So, I stuck in a brand new, never been touched, DVD. It tried to do the
116 formatting part but it failed. It gave the option to load anyway so I
117 told it to load and try burning. After all that, I get the same error
118 listed above. It still says no space left.
119
120 All the previous was with app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha77. I then
121 installed cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha75, logged out of KDE for good measure
122 and tried again with the same error.
123
124 I then backed up a version of k3b. Same thing. No change at all. Now
125 I am confused so I am going fishing for a while. Now that I'm back, no
126 fish just attacked by the skeeters, I decided to try something else. I
127 found a older backup file that was about a little smaller than 2Gbs. It
128 burned that just fine. No problem with it at all. It will also burn a
129 little tiny file, few Mbs or so, just fine. So, I went back to Kbackup
130 and created a new backup file. Instead of it doing the regular "preset"
131 4.7Gb file size, I made it a little smaller. I made it a little over
132 4Gbs which is actually about 3.9Gbs or so. It made a few slices and it
133 is backing them up just fine.
134
135 After this, I went back and created some new backups with the preset
136 4.7Gb DVD setting that Kbackup uses. It appears to be working now.
137 Also, keep in mind that this was not the backups that failed last time.
138 This is a different set of backups.
139
140 So, what the heck is up with all this? Is it that Kbackup made a slice
141 that was maybe just a wee bit to big, twice? It was a tarball so
142 wouldn't it burn it even if it was corrupt or something?
143
144 I'm going to try putting the old DVD drive in tomorrow maybe tonight and
145 see if it works then. The new one has a black face plate and my case is
146 beige. It sort of looks like I gave it a black eye or something. LOL
147 If the old drive works, this is plenty weird. Oh well, I have a new DVD
148 drive when I start to build a new rig.
149
150 Sorry this was so long. I was writing as I was doing things.
