Hello,

i burned a bzip compressed image of a Partition to
a DVD+RW with K3B under Knoppix 3.7-2004-12-08
When i mount the DVD+RW under this knoppix i get a very small file size ...

under windos-xp the file has the right size
when i copy it to disk with XP and later
from knoppix do a compare with the original file
with diff -s ... diff tells the files are identical ...
when importing the dvd in a 'new' dvd-project k3b tells the original size 2.8GB ...

to me it seems as if the cdrom filesystem of knoppix makes the mistake with the size ...

however there is a knoppix on DVD and the cloop-file of knoppix can be huge also ...
i dont have that dvd-version of knoppix but the existence of such a version means
there is some way to make k3b burn it different or to mount it different so such a
huge file will be acessible by knoppix without errors ...

anyone knows what is going wrong ?
anyone knows until which file size anything will work without error ?
anyone knows a mount-option to correct the error ?
( the disk is tested to be ok for win-xp as i explained above ... )

i post the exact listings of the file-size i made so anyone can try it out ...
