didn't see this earlier.
blu-ray mdiscs for data behave just like bib dvds. one issue i encountered is that if you
try to put too much on one, it both refuses to burn and throws all sorts of inscrutable
errors that do not hint at the real cause -- trying to put too much stuff on the disc. to
be save, don't try to get 25 gigs on one, but instead call it quits a bit before then.
you must also disable multi-session. you get one shot at each disc.

Sorry to intrude but...
Did you ever thought using USB keys?
It costs (almost) nothing, it is fast and you can rewrite the medium as often as you
want!
Here in canada you can find a 64Gb USB stick in supermarkets under CAN 50.00$
I have made my backups on USB sticks (not even compressing the data) with rsync for years
without any problem.
I bought 4 64Gb sticks and rotate them.
I had to restore some times and never had any problem.
Just wanted to add a view on an easy storage medium here...

I'm not surprised at that; I boycotted Blu-Ray a long time ago due to it's
primary use as a DRM enforcement technology* and therefore don't have any
Blu-Ray equipment with which to enhance k3b.

I've ordered an external burner - I'm not interrested in Blu-Ray
itself, but
my Photo archive would require dozens of DVDs to secure (I remember
creating a set of 25 floppies to install OS/2, but that was long time ago).
I understand Blu-Ray uses DRM to handle video, but does this mean it's also
required to burn data? I want to burn Blu-Ray M-Discs (data only).
I'll switch to another OS if necessary (as it would only be for an archival
process) but of course I'd rather do it with Linux (and Trinity if possible).
If I can provide any information once the hardware is there...
