K3B burning error

[Major]

After about 1:10 minutes k3b gives me this:

:-(unable to WRITE@LBA=oh: Input/Output error
:-(write failed : input/output error
mkisofs did not exit cleanly
Error while creating ISO image
Fatal error during recording: input/output error

I was able to burn about 10 or 12 DVDs en then kaboom I keep getting this.
Looks like I'm missing space somewhere or a buffer not working ....
I re-emerge k3b ... reboot... waited a few days ...

And still nothing

I check the Web for other kind of error but nothing make sense to me yet....

This happened to me a few month before but It fixed itself but now I'm just pissed

And I can't find any other burning program with an good GUI interface

Can you post your emerge --info ?

Also, are you in the cdrom with your user ?

You got enough room on your disk? Looks like it's not the burning that fails, it's mkisofs.

[Major]

Yeap

# df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 15G 8.6G 5.6G 61% /
udev 442M 644K 442M 1% /dev

/dev/sdb1 158G 90G 60G 61% /mnt/stuff
none 442M 0 442M 0% /dev/shm

That is why I'm thinking of buffer or something ... but Im not sure how mkisofs works

[dev_zero]

Try making the isoimage yourself, by using the commandline tool mkisofs. And throw on some verbose options to see what fails. k3b's error messages obviously suck as bad as Windows'.
