Hi,

Then it must be older than version 0.5.2.
Try to get 0.5.2 or 0.5.4.

This is probably a bug in xorriso's mkisofs emulation.
I assume that the file name contains '=' characters which K3B
tries to hide from the -graft-points feature of mkisofs.
Therefore it inserts '\' characters before the '='.
mkisofs will remove them. Obviously xorriso does not.
"/tmp/kde-root/k3bK26520.tmp" is probably the input file for
mkisofs option -path-list. A zillion of file names in it.
Now i have to find out whether xorriso is unaware of this
gesture or whether i broke it in the past it without noticing.
If you want to give the command line a try, then we could
compose a xorriso run which would probably work.
Something like
xorriso -for_backup -outdev /dev/sr0 -blank as_needed -add /bin /boot
/etc /home /initrd.img /lib* /opt /root /sbin /usr /vmlinuz --
(I tested this with "-outdev stdio:/dev/null". The fastest
burner ever. Up to 170x DVD speed. Regrettably it immediately
forgets what is written to it.)
For repeated use, one would put this into a shell script so that it
can be executed by a single command word. One would write is a bit
more readable than in a single line:
xorriso \
-for_backup \
-outdev /dev/sr0 \
-blank as_needed \
-add /bin /boot /etc /home /initrd.img /lib* /opt \
/root /sbin /usr /vmlinuz --
(If you are not keen with shell scripting then i could give you
a short intro. It's easy.)
One could also augment the script to do incremental backups with
several update runs to the same BD medium:
"-dev /dev/sr0" instead of "-outdev /dev/sr0 -blank as_needed"
"-update_r /bin /bin -update_r /boot /boot ..." instead of
"-add ... --"
Have a nice day :)
