[gentoo-user] OT: DVD-"Container" ?

[meino.cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

I am using k3b to burn dvds/cds.
As most programs of this kind, k3b can /copy/ but not
/move/ data to a DVD.
Therefore, when trying to find tose files, which exactly
sum up to the size of a DVD (by the way: I know DVD-
sizes from a little below 4.3 GB to over 4.7GB...what is
the truth?) I end up with a selected file here and another
one there. After the DVD is finished it is --hrmm-- not
efficient to find those in the related directories to
remove them after a successful copy.
Now I am looking of something like a "virtual DVD" to
which I can /move/ and move back files. The "DVD"
should report "no space left on device" exactly at
the same point when a "real DVD" is filled.

I thought of one extra partition of the same size a DVD
but since the filesystems will occupy different amount
of space...

On the other hand: A iso-image-file on the harddisk would
be nice, but that filesystem isn't made for moving files
back and forth...

Any ideas to solve this???

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
best regards,
mcc
