Description Alexander 2010-10-28 11:25:25 UTC
Version:           2.0.1 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

There is a bug when computing available size on a Blu-ray (BD-R) disk in both growisofs and k3b.

Basically, when defect management is on (which is default for growisofs), k3b doesn't take into account the fact that growisofs reserves 250MB for spare sectors and will happily accept more data than BD-R can handle, leading to write errors near the end. Due to another bug in growisofs, growisofs also accepts that data.

I'm attaching a write log.

Some more details here:
http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2010/10/msg00046.html

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Write an unformatted BD-R so that k3b shows only about 100MB free space left.

Actual Results:  
Write error near the end.

Expected Results:  
K3b should prevent the user from writing so much data. It should take into account the reserved 250MB area, or allow the user to control that.

openSUSE 11.3 x86_64.
Pioneer BDR-205 blu-ray writer (firmware 1.09).
TDK 4x BD-R media.

I do not use K3b or Blu-rays anymore, so I cannot verify whether the bug is still present. Sorry.
