K3B silently ignores files >4G when burning DVDs
Last modified: 2005-08-12 13:56:52 UTC
I tried to burn two files: fix:/local # ls -l ibm-t42p-complete-hd-img.gz.00 MD5SUMS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 192 Aug 11 11:01 MD5SUMS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4508876800 Aug 11 10:27 ibm-t42p-complete-hd-img.gz.00 and wondered why the burn finished so fast. Easy answer: only MD5SUMS was on the disk.
This may be a duplicate of bug #80583
since when is it possible to create files > 4GB on isofs??!
UDF
mkisofs does not support files > 4GB, even with udf from the manpage: -udf Include UDF support in the generated filesystem image. UDF support is currently in alpha status and for this reason, it is not possible to create UDF only images. UDF data structures are currently coupled to the Joliet structures, so there are many pitfalls with the current implementation. There is no UID/GID support, there is no POSIX permission support, there is no support for symlinks. Note that UDF wastes the space from sector ~20 to sector 256 at the beginning of the disk in addition to the spcae needed for real UDF data structures. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80583 ***
