No, the file is 4.2GB in size. The error message comes from mkisofs. : /data/cdimages/tmp; ls -l total 4092696 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4186821632 Dec 14 23:13 cpio-bkp I did a Google search, and found a few other people have been discovering this over the last year or so. I didn't see any solution mentioned. There's a page that describes the UDF file format for DVDs, which states that it's not a problem with the UDF spec, but that most software (Windows included) can't write a file bigger than 2GB. Presumably because they've used signed 32 bit ints in their code. There was one mention of someone who used dvdrecord to write a 4GB file once. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
