Well, I'm a thorough guy ;-) If I do losetup, luskOpen, mount before copying files, I do umount, luksClose, losetup afterwards as well. > Do i understand correctly that the overflow happens in line 173 > with the tar run ? > > tar cf - -C "`dirname "$line"`" "`basename "$line"`" | plzip > > "$zipfilename1" Exactly. > If so: What happens next ?

It tries for all remaining folders, all of them immediately fail because of disk full and then it waits for input at step 4, i.e. no automatic cleaning up but if I continue (what I do) it will do the cleanup before burning. > > > dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd > > > > INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][BD-RW BDR-209D][1.30] > > That's the killer of Verbatim BD-RE.

Do I understand correctly, you say that this Pioneer drive doesn't work well with Verbatim BD-RE, i.e. their rewriteable BDs. Since I only use BD-R, it doesn't matter for me and my use case, but thank you nevertheless. > There would still be 100 MB free for another session. > (But don't mess with good backups which are not intended as multi-session.) For backup reasons, I use each BD disc once, no overwriting, no multi-session, just write and forget (OK, I should have tested them for readability afterwards, not just randomly but all of them - lesson learned) ;-) Best, Bernd
