Basically what I am trying to do is backup some database dumps to a dvd. Everything was working fine until the dumps got larger than 2 Gigs. Now I get this message when I try to use growisofs: % growisofs -dry-run -Z /dev/cd0 -R -J bkupdir Executing 'mkisofs -R -J feb8 | builtin_dd of=3D/dev/pass0 obs=3D32k seek= =3D0' mkisofs: Value too large to be stored in data type. File bkupdir/large-file-20040208.sql.gz is too large - ignoring Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 169 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 I have looked around and found some articles and emails that say the mkisofs has a 2 gig limit in some circumstances, but I have also seen articles and emails that say this shouldn't be the case on FreeBSD or when dvd+rw-tools is installed. The man page for mkisofs gives a -split-output option which I tried in hopes that it would split the file as necessary, but I got the same error. Anyone have any clues or advice?
