Well whether k3b knows it or not, there is 320Gbs of space left. I did
some more testing and the drive really doesn't do anything now. Even
hdparm can't read all the info so I ordered a drive about 12 hours ago.
I have had this brand before so maybe it will be OK.
Well, since a while, Linux did follow Solaris and offers tmpfs on /tmp.
tmpfs usually has the size of the RAM + sizeof Swap - something.
Many programs still don't know about this limitation and try to put
temporary files of any size into /tmp. Try to reconfigure k3b....

This turned into a book. The bottom few paragraphs are the most
important parts. It ends up working tho, just weirdly. Is that a
word? o_O
Well, I got my shiney new DVD drive. It still doesn't burn a thing. I
still get this which looks like the same error to me:

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

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