Hello guys, I need to split a big tar into a couple of files so I can burn them on DVD+R media. I use Nero for this because it allows me to use UDF as the filesystem (allowing me to burn one BIG file).
Considering that a DVD+R holds 4483MB (without overburn), how big should I split my big file? I want to burn AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE but I need to consider the filesystem overhead. Thus, I can't do this: split -b 4483m bigFile.tar Is there an easy way to figure out this? If it was an iso9660 I'd just create an ISO file and figure out the difference between payload (my actual data) and the filesystem overhead..but this is UDF. I just found out about mkudffs but it doesn't work like mkisofs...need to figure out that one. Thanks!
