Nice to see you back! I believe it means your archive is too big for the media disk you. Are you trying to write 4.7[GiB] on a 4.7[GB] DVD disc? 4.7 GB (giga) = 4.7 x 10^9 = 4700000000 (DVD media disc capacity) 4.7 GiB (gibi) = 4.7 x 2^30 = 5046586572.8 (the "too large" file) "Gibi" is often incorrectly called "giga" which leads to confusions. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
