You originally said mkisofs finished quickly. It shouldn't run any faster than your disk drive(s) can copy the data. My single PATA drive can only sustain 15 MB/sec in that combined read/write situation but can single-task read 50 MB/sec if its copying to gigabit ethernet or my gvinum striped SATA drives. I believe your problem is with Nero, not with mkisofs. Something about Nero either does not like a non-video DVD or something is wrong with your file transfer from FreeBSD to Windows. Many ftp clients (not /usr/bin/ftp nor /usr/libexec/ftpd) have problems with 2G+ files. I grabbed ~4.6G of files and used your exact command line structure but outside of a script. All files were on a gvinum striped pair of SATA drives, so it sustained about 50 MB/sec combined read/write. % mkisofs -V junk.iso -o /usr5/done/junk.iso -R -J tmp [...] 0.22% done, estimate finish Tue Aug 23 19:53:53 2005 0.44% done, estimate finish Tue Aug 23 19:57:39 2005 0.66% done, estimate finish Tue Aug 23 19:56:24 2005 0.88% done, estimate finish Tue Aug 23 19:57:39 2005 [...] 99.68% done, estimate finish Tue Aug 23 19:56:54 2005 99.90% done, estimate finish Tue Aug 23 19:56:55 2005 Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 2092 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 10704 2267219 extents written (4428 MB) % cd /usr5/done % ls -l total 4536688 -rw-r--r-- 1 dkelly dkelly 4643264512 Aug 23 19:56 junk.iso % Then from MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) pulled the file via command line ftp: ftp> mget junk.iso local: junk.iso remote: junk.iso 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||60128|) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'junk.iso' (4643264512 bytes). 100% |********************************| 4428 MB 39.72 MB/s --:-- ETA 226 Transfer complete. 348297216 bytes received in 01:51 (39.72 MB/s) ftp> quit (notice Apple still has a problem counting on 64 fingers, "348297216 bytes received", but it really did 4643264512 as it says above.)
