pBurn possible bug - 100 MB log file

Post by amethyst »

Don't know if this has been replicated. I hardly ever use pBurn but did the other day. I noticed that the size of my /root folder grew exponentially and investigated. Noticed a log file of more than 100MB in .pburn :o
It was definitely a log file with text. Could open it but was obviously so big that I could not investigate the whole thing.
Version 4.3.18 used with Bionic 32.

Change the /tmp area that pburn uses to a space on an actual HD (like sda1, sdb1, etc). By default pburn uses your savefile for /tmp area, and fills it right up.

i.e.: /mnt/sda1, /mnt/sdb2, etc ..

It was a "ordinary" LOG FILE (with readable text), how on earth can it be more than 100MB? It seems that the same details were duplicated again and again to get to that massive size. There's a problem somewhere. I think I created a new iso which did output correctly to another location.
