How old should this ext2 be? Let alone that Arch is a rolling release

In regards to the file system, I only could imagine tmpfs being the
culprit.

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.
