AFAIK neither the current mkisofs nor genisoimage do support real large files (>4GiB). This is due hardcoded limitations in mkisofs' internal structures and signatures and UDF generating methods. For genisoimage, I have a patch to pass the correct size to the UDF representation, and I assume that you volunteer as beta-tester. See: http://rootfs.net/misc/genisoimage.udflfs.diff http://rootfs.net/misc/genisoimage.udflfs.bin Note that you will need to mount explicitely with -tudf since Linux prefers isofs over udf. And the change won't enable large file support in ISO9660 and its extensions. Those files will appear with the original size modulo 4 GiB. The wrong size could be changed to 0 or 4GiB, but I don't see that much difference there, broken remains broken. Eduard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
