growisofs is your solution. It is in the dvd+r-tools port in /usr/pots/sysutils. This was supposed to be a front end to mkisofs and therefore handles most of the options that mkisofs has. It also allows you to burn directly to disc! (I use this one a lot, great for backups). -Randy RW wrote: >On Wednesday 08 December 2004 17:42, Paul Mather wrote: > > >>On Wed, 8 Dec 2004 04:08:12 +0000, RW >> >><list-freebsd-2004@morbius.sent.com> wrote: >> >> >>>I've been trying to burn a single large file (a 4.2 GB encrypted gbde >>>filesystem within a file) to a DVD, but mkisofs tells me the file is too >>>large. >>> >>>I looked on Google and found that mkisofs had a filesize limit of 2 GB, >>>but this was increased to 4 GB, so I dropped the filesize to 4095 MB, but >>>it still failed, so I guess the version in ports still has the 2 GB >>>limits. >>> >>> >>The mkisofs of sysutils/cdrtools has the 2 GB limitation; the mkisofs >>installed by sysutils/cdrtools-devel does not. >>... >>But, I would issue a big caveat about what you are proposing to do: you >>may be able to burn the DVD, but it is likely that you will not be able >>to access the large (> 2 GB) file under FreeBSD from the burned disc. >> >> > >Ah, you're right df reports the size correctly, but nothing else works. >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > >
