Hi folks,

After getting the mailing list working I did some techy shopping. I got me a new DVD burner and k3b does not like large files. I used Kbackup to create a tarball of my data. K3b gives me a error saying the file is to large. I did some googling and searched around on the forums, even posted on one thread, but I can not figure out how to get this thing to burn. Will it just not burn large files or what?

How big is the tarball?
# ls -lh <tarball>

Check if you have set the Medium size correctly in K3b. Maybe you try to burn it on a CD...

To be faster than Jörg:

He will advise you to unmerge cdrkit and merge cdrtools, but first please look for the size of the tarball and the options set in K3b

I did set it to write to the DVD. The tarball is about 4Gbs or so. It should fit on the DVD with no problems. I tried a lot of different settings tho. Still no joy.

I don't think that file will fit on a CD.  LOL
Maybe this will help:

Hi again,

I decided to try the fixed setting instead of my custom one. I usually set them to be a little less than full but I just told Kbackup to do it for a 4.7Gb DVD. Will post back what blows up when it gets done chewing.
