Hello. According to growisofs.c: * - -use-the-force-luke=4gms to allow ISO9660 directory structures * to cross 4GB boundary, the option is effective only with DVD+R DL * and for data to be accessible under Linux isofs a kernel patch is * required;
Now I've got a DVD+R DL, failed with 2 trials: $ growisofs -M /dev/sr0 -speed 1 -use-the-force-luke=4gms -iso-level 2 -r \ -J -V PHOTOS_YLS -old-root / \ -graft-points /tmp/empty Photos=Photos/ f-spot=.config/f-spot/ :-( next session would cross 4GB boundary, aborting... $ growisofs -M /dev/sr0 -speed 1 -use-the-force-luke=4gms -iso-level 2 -r\ -V PHOTOS_YLS -old-root / \ -graft-points /tmp/empty Photos=Photos/ f-spot=.config/f-spot/ :-( next session would cross 4GB boundary, aborting... I wonder if I could workaround this issue by replacing growisofs with "genisoimage -C xx,xx -M" followed by "cdrskin"? Thanks in advance! P.S. I verified available space on the DVD+R DL is enough to hold the content, by first checking Free Blocks with dvd+rw-mediainfo then with genisoimage -print-size $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 INQUIRY: [HL-DT-ST][DVDRAM GSA-H10A ][JL02] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 2Bh, DVD+R Double Layer Current Write Speed: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #0: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #1: 2.4x1385=3324KB/s GET [CURRENT] PERFORMANCE: Write Performance: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s@[0 -> 4173823] Speed Descriptor#0: 02/4173823 [email protected]=4568KB/s [email protected]=5540KB/s Speed Descriptor#1: 02/4173823 [email protected]=4568KB/s [email protected]=3324KB/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 00h, DVD-ROM book [revision 0] Media ID: RITEK/S04 Legacy lead-out at: 2086912*2KB=4273995776 DVD+R DOUBLE LAYER BOUNDARY INFORMATION: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 2086912*2KB, can no longer be set READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: appendable Number of Sessions: 9 State of Last Session: empty "Next" Track: 9 Number of Tracks: 9 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 1632*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#2]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 3680*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 608*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#3]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 6336*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 176*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#4]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 8560*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 176*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#5]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 10784*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 2170592*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#6]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 2183424*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 221968*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#7]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 2407440*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 257312*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#8]: Track State: partial/complete Track Start Address: 2666800*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 13216*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#9]: Track State: blank Track Start Address: 2682064*2KB Next Writable Address: 2682064*2KB Free Blocks: 1491760*2KB Track Size: 1491760*2KB FABRICATED TOC: Track#1 : 14@0 Track#2 : 14@3680 Track#3 : 14@6336 Track#4 : 14@8560 Track#5 : 14@10784 Track#6 : 14@2183424 Track#7 : 14@2407440 Track#8 : 14@2666800 Track#AA : 14@2680016 Multi-session Info: #8@2666800 READ CAPACITY: 2680016*2048=5488672768 $ cdrskin -msinfo cdrskin 0.8.0 : limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn cdrskin: scanning for devices ... cdrskin: ... scanning for devices done 2666800,2682064 $ genisoimage -C 2666800,2682064 -M /dev/sr0 -print-size -iso-level 2 -r \ -V PHOTOS_YLS -old-root / \ -graft-points /tmp/empty Photos=Photos/ f-spot=.config/f-spot/ I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) Rock Ridge signatures found Total extents scheduled to be written = 656996 656996 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
