Also, we're discussing media sizes which we have not heard of; and the
speed of progress for optical media is not all that great.
CD: 1982 600MB/740MB
DVD: 1995(?) 4.7GB - 8.5GB (dual layer) (25% increase year over year)
HD/Blu-ray
2006(?) 30-50GB(dual layer) (17% increase year over year)
I'm discounting double sided discs as allowing larger files; I do not
accept that dual sided players will become available anytime.
So I'm not sure why Joerg expects 200GB disks available any time soon
(I'm thinking 7 years at the earliest, keeping in mind that HD-DVD are
both not established technologies as of now).
And then why he'd expect such disks to hold 200GB+ files while using UDF
format which does not support them.
(So the disk can hold one file of 200GB+, and you'd create two filesystems
one which shows the file and one which does not? Why?)
Anyway, the original problem I ran into is a simpler one: that hsfs will
detect a filesystem as hsfs without then also wanting to mount it.
That, of course, won't do.
