[Dvdrtools-users] mkisofs - no largefile support for files inside UDF isos?

[Andre Dalle]

address@hidden isos $ ls -ld test
drwxr-sr-x    2 andre    files          42 Nov 19 00:59 test/

address@hidden isos $ ls -l test
total 6738944
-rw-rw-r--    1 andre    files    3446996992 Nov  6 11:33 test1.iso
-rw-rw-r--    1 andre    files    3453681664 Nov  6 12:39 test2.iso

OK.  Granted an ISO with those 2 3.4GB files would be too large to burn onto
DVD-R.  mkisofs should not care about that.

mkisofs rejects any single file greater than 2GB:

address@hidden isos $ mkisofs -v -udf -o test.iso test

mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File test/test1.iso is too
large - ignoring
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File test/test2.iso is too
large - ignoring

To save on disks, I tend to burn multiple CD/DVD ISOs onto a single DVD-R for
archival purposes.

Now, I *can* create a large >2GB image, so long as it is comprised of files
less than 2GB a piece.

Finally, I get the same error with common utilities:

address@hidden isos $ file test/*
test/test1.iso: can't stat `test/test1.iso' (Value too large for defined
data type).
test/test2.iso: can't stat `test/test2.iso' (Value too large for defined
data type).

So, it seems as if largefile support in mkisofs is not complete?  Or is this a
problem with my system libs?

My filesystem is XFS:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus3/target1/lun0/part1 on /disks/archives type xfs
(rw,noatime)

My system is Gentoo Linux 1.2, running with Gentoo-patched 2.4.19 kernel.
Patches include XFS/JFS support, and some other stuff I don't include.

Linux kermit.dalle.ca 2.4.19-xfs-r2 #1 Sat Nov 16 17:56:57 EST 2002 i686
AuthenticAMD

ps. I tried mkisofs from the 'dvdrtools' package as well as the one that comes
with plain cdrtools, to the same effect.
