Well whether k3b knows it or not, there is 320Gbs of space left. I did
some more testing and the drive really doesn't do anything now. Even
hdparm can't read all the info so I ordered a drive about 12 hours ago.
I have had this brand before so maybe it will be OK.
Well, since a while, Linux did follow Solaris and offers tmpfs on /tmp.
tmpfs usually has the size of the RAM + sizeof Swap - something.
Many programs still don't know about this limitation and try to put
temporary files of any size into /tmp. Try to reconfigure k3b....

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