Description of the issue (ideally so that others can reproduce it):
I run the 'rear -v mkbackup' command, the error message like follow:
Making ISO image

Workaround, if any:
Attachments, as applicable ("rear -D mkrescue/mkbackup/recover" debug log files):
The output log like this :

FAILURE shows image size exceeds free space,
but actually i output the ISO into another disk
that mounted on '/mnt/part_sdb1/' and there is enough space.
Did I express myself clearly enough? What the problem might be?

ReaR builds the image in its space (see
/var/lib/rear/output/rear-localhost.iso in the xorriso messages) and
then copies it to OUTPUT_URL. Not sure if you can instruct it to write
to OUTPUT_URL directly.
pcahyna commented at 2021-09-29 09:28:¶
In other words, you may have enough space at your OUTPUT_URL, but not
enough in /var.
pcahyna commented at 2021-09-29 09:31:¶
I found how to instruct ReaR to write somewhere else: set ISO_DIR (by
default it is $VAR_DIR/output) and set OUTPUT_URL=null (to avoid a
second copy). See the description in
/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf.
