Description juliushar 2017-12-02 18:53:12 UTC
It can be seen on the attached screenshot, that K3b does not burn a 23.1 GiB .iso on a 23.3 GiB medium (on Kubuntu 16.04 LTS). This also happens on a current Manjaro Linux (more details will follow). (The .iso was first created with backup data with K3b by selecting to create a local .iso file without burning in the burn dialog). The burner is a Pioneer BDR-XD05T external USB.

On Manjaro Linux with K3b Version 17.08.3 the console output when the start burning was clicked is thus:

------ nothing useful found.


it seems the last part starting with "Waiting for medium" is the interesting part: it lists different DVDs but not the BD which is already inserted.
