I have /tmp on the root partition which has over 8Gbs=20 free space but just in case I set k3b to use one of my really large data=20 drives which has over 300Gbs of free space. I figure if 300Gbs of free=20 space is not enough to burn a 4Gb file, well, there is not much need to=20 back anything up anyway. ;-) This drive is no longer reading a drive either so I think the drive has=20 blown a fuse so to speak. While it was working, then stopped working,=20 then started working again and has pretty much stopped working now, I=20 think the new drive is a good idea. If the new drive doesn't work, I'm=20 at a loss on what to think. Maybe there is a issue with the controller=20 which means a new mobo. I really don't want to go there right now. Crosses fingers that the new drive will work. Dale :-) :-)
