I made a data DVD on FreeBSD that included a large (~2.1 GB) file. Initially, the mkisofs in the sysutils/cdrtools port flagged a warning about it being too large and excluded it from the ISO image it created. I replaced my cdrtools port with the sysutils/cdrtools-devel port. The newer mkisofs in that port does not flag the large file as being "too large" and includes it in the ISO it creates. Unfortunately, FreeBSD does not like that file when I mount the resultant data DVD. I get that same "Value too large to be stored in data type" error. Here's the kicker, though: "It works under Windows." (At least it seemed to on a Windows XP system I had to hand.) So, I'm guessing the newer mkisofs is more cognisant of the latest standards/de facto standards than the older one. BTW, this is on a FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT system last rebuilt early this September.
