Hi The lernstick Project (http://www.imedias.ch/lernstick), a Debian Live based system for Swiss Schools, is a fairly voluminous distribution. Right now its filesystem.squashfs is just under 4 GB.
Some days ago we tried building a customized system for a large school district with many additional software so that filesystem.squashfs was larger than 4 GB. Unfortunately, this made live-build fail with the following error message: --------------- ... Setting up genisoimage (9:1.1.11-1) ... Setting up syslinux (2:4.02+dfsg-7) ... Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660. File binary/live/filesystem.squashfs is larger than 4GiB-1. -allow-limited-size was not specified. There is no way do represent this file size. Aborting. isohybrid: could not open file `binary-hybrid.iso': No such file or directory P: Begin unmounting filesystems... --------------- One can easily reproduce the issue with this simple script: --------------- #!/bin/sh lb config dd if=/dev/urandom of=config/chroot_local-includes/bigfile bs=1G count=4 lb build --------------- Is there a way to build larger systems with Debian Live?
