I been using k3b, it has been a while tho, and now it won't burn a DVD.
It's not a ISO, it just contains a backup tarball. This is the
"debugging" output.
/usr/bin/mkisofs: Warning: Cannot add inode hints with -no-cache-inodes.

I also tried to burn this with tkdvd but it failed too. I don't think
the media is bad. It doesn't appear to be k3b since the other program
fails too. I also updated to the latest testing but no difference that
I can see. It does sometimes burn and sometimes if I try again it will
burn but it's not getting any better.
In the regular burning box, it says that mkisofs has crashed. That part
is consistent. If it fails, that is the short version of the error.
Ideas? Where is our DVD expert? I need help. :-)

K3b is running mkisofs and growisofs at the same time, hence the mixed up
debug output making it hard to see where the error is coming from. Take
the media, drive and growisofs out of the equation by getting K3b to
create an ISO image instead. If that works, write the image to disc with
At least you'll have a better idea where the problem lies.

I once had a problem just like this and it turned out to be bad media.
The generic cheap priced discs don't always work. The more expensive
name brand generally are better because most, if not all of them,
work.

I doubt it is the media. I have been using the same brand, Verbatim,
for ages and never had a failure. It's even coming from the same box
and is media that I have used for a previous backup with no issues.
Each time I have problems burning a DVD, it is something software. I
stay away from the really cheap junk. I learned that from the problems
people on this list have reported.
While it could be possible, it's not likely.

Could I just get rid of one of the programs or are they all part of the
same package? I suspect a mismatch of package versions which is why I
went unstable with k3b and cdrtools.
It is odd that it is trying to run two programs at the same time tho.

Not really, mkisofs is creating the ISO data and growisofs is writing it
to the disc. Basically, the output of mkisofs is piped through growisofs
to the disc. The alternative is to write an ISO image file and then burn
it to disc, which is slower but what I suggested to see where the problem
lies.

OK. I went back to k3b and tried to burn a Gentoo install disc which is
a iso image. This is what it gives when I do that.
This appears to be using cdrecord. Any ideas? Should I shoot it? lol

OK. I thought I would try some different versions of software and see
what happens. With the info Neil provided about what does what, I
thought I would try a different version of cdrtools. I went to a older
version and it worked fine on the first try with my backup file. It is
as I type burning the second DVD with no errors yet. I'm using
cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha57-r1 at the moment. Maybe this will work.

P. S. Watch it blow a gasket on the next burn. ;-)

This is hopefully the last update. I have now burned several DVDs,
including the ones that failed earlier, with no errors at all. I guess
the newer version of cdrtools has some issues which may be why it is not
in stable yet. ;-)
I hope the DVD guru saw this and the error just in case he sees what
needs fixing. Maybe he is on vacation or something. :-)
Thanks for the pointer Neil. It got me fixed in the end.
