Public bug reported: hello . . .
I have successfully used K3B for many years doing monthly FULL backups to DVDs and then BDs except for this month. I tried to backup my system K3B 2.0.2 and received a few error messages primarily being told that K3B could not calculate the file size. I downloaded Kubuntu 15.10 with K3B 2.0.3 and using a USB stick began K3B. Same error message. I isolated the problem (maybe). growisofs generates an error telling me that my burn has "too many directories". The number 65535 (?) follows the message. This is the base error for all my other error messages. K3B cannot calculate the file size because not all the directories are calculated (?). I removed /usr (biggest number of directories) and the burn was successful. I used a DVD-DL to burn /usr and again successful. It looks like I have maxed out the limit on directories. Never thought that would happen. K3b Version 2.0.2 / 2.0.3 Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.13 and Kubuntu 15.10 downloaded 6Dec15. Hope this helps. ** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1523326 Title: K3B (growisofs) too many directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/1523326/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
