mkisofs problem

Paxmaster · 10-14-2005, 01:46 PM

I am trying to make a file into a iso image by using this command
mkisofs -f -R -l -J -v20050927data08 -Abackup -data08.iso 20050927data08

and the output of the command is this: mkisofs warning: -following links does not always work correctly be careful.

INFO UTF-8 Character -encoded filenames on sources filesystem, use -input-charset to override.
mkisofs value too large for defined data type
File 20050927data08 is is too large -ingroring
Total rockridge attributes bytes. 168
Total directory bytes 0
Path table size (bytes):10
Max brkspace used 21000
181 extents written (0 MB)

I want to make iso image of a file call 20050927data08 and the size of the file is 4.3 GB

any help would be nice thx

If you want to use mkisofs, you may have better luck with udf .

Code:

mkisofs -f -r -udf -o -v20050927data08 -Abackup -data08.iso 20050927data08

You might also want to look at growisofs.

Code:

Burn a data DVD: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /home/data
   To append more data to same DVD: growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files

Burn a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

Burn a video DVD: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video my_dvd
It can also be done with dvdrecord/mkisofs:
mkisofs -f -r -udf -o /home/myfiles.iso .
dvdrecord -v dev=/dev/dvdrw driveropts=burnproof -dao -data myfiles.iso

I fix the problem oh yeah, the mkisofs can't make an iso file over 4200000000

so I split the file then burn it with k3b
