Hello,
I have used mkisofs to produce large single file dvd backups for some
time now. I have recently changed jobs, and while I could go back to
my previouis employer and get the source code I need, I would much
rather find the 'right' code repository. What I found about a year ago
was that all production versions of mkisofs will not allow you to
create a single large file greater than 2 GB. I wrote someone a letter
and they told me to create a UDF file system and to use the latest
version. Now as I remember it, the server was down, maybe that was
savanah? and I wrote again and got a code patch, or something like
that! It worked great, even a windows machine could read our large
udfs just fine, and I didn't worry about it because I figured surely,
one year later, the latest version would have the support for large
files. At that time I was running slakware 8 or 9. Now I am running
Fedora core 2. 2.6.7 kernel version. I have just downloaded dvdrtools
0.1.6 and I am careful to run the /usr/local/bin/mkisofs version, but
alas, it comes back with
usr/local/bin/mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File
outaa is too large - ignoring
Can anyone point me to a more appropriate version or give advice as to
how to construct an image of udf filesystem which is approximately 4.4
gigs in size (image of a single file).?
