Can anyone think of the issue in question or a solution or tests to approach the problem?
To which filesystem are you saving the recording? Is it perhaps a (V)FAT partition? Or a very old ext2 filesystem? Some of these have limitations on maximum file size.
How old should this ext2 be? Let alone that Arch is a rolling release and if you buy e.g. an USB stick, it unlikely is formatted with ext. In regards to the file system, I only could imagine tmpfs being the culprit. "Max. file size 16 GiB – 2 TiB" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2 "On Linux kernels prior to 2.6.17,[4] restrictions in the block driver mean that ext2 filesystems have a maximum file size of 2 TiB." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2 "Max. file size 4,294,967,295 bytes (4 GiB – 1) with FAT16B and FAT32[1]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table "Max. file size ca. 128 PiB (theoretical 16 EiB–1)[nb 1]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT "Further, the term "VFAT" has led to various misconceptions as well,[nb 1] as it is sometimes erroneously used as if it would describe another variant of FAT file system to be distinguished from the FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 file systems, while in reality it does not specify another file system" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table Regards, Ralf
