Has anyone had a lot of experience using mkisofs to build DVD iso images? I splurged for an HP i420 DVD+-R/DVD+-RW/CD-R/CD-RW drive when I had my last failure in my RAID array. I decided that the only way I would do consistent backups would be to have a high capacity writer in the machine.
Right now I'm trying ot backup a large compressed image (uncompressed it's greater that 4.7GB). When I build an image with mkisofs and this single 3.9GB compressed file I can mount it on loopback, but the file size is all wrong. However if I split the compressed chuncks into 700MB files mkisofs works with all the split images in the file. Does anyone know what the largest individual sized file can be on a DVD/CDROM image? -Weave
