359844 * 2048 = 736,960,512 bytes = 702.82 MiB. This looks more like the size of a "700 MB" CD-R medium. > Building temporary data structures in / space is limited? Not in particular. Processing of directories with very many files can become a bit sloww. There is memory needed for each file name and its attribute when the emerging ISO 9660 filesystemi s planned. But unless you have millions of files this should not be a problem even with an old computer. The FAILURE complaint rather says that libburn told xorriso that the medium offers ~700 MiB for writing. But the emerging ISO 9660 filesystem would need 2094.875 MiB of medium capacity. A blank DVD-R would take that filesystem. A blank CD-R would not. Question: What messages do you get printed when the CD-or-DVD medium is inserted and you do: xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc With a blank "700 MB" CD-R i get: Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr0' Media current: CD-R Media status : is blank Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 703m free Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr0' Drive access : exclusive:unrestricted Drive type : vendor 'ASUS' product 'BW-16D1HT' revision '1.01' Drive id : 'K9CF92A5012 ' Media current: CD-R Media product: 97m34s23f/79m59s73f , Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation Media status : is blank Media blocks : 0 readable , 359846 writable , 359846 overall Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 703m free (The capacity of CD-R varies by nominal size: "650 MB", ...
